Objectives
The objective is to investigate and develop vehicle concept modeling and simulation applications, aligned with the needs for (and integrated into) the industrial vehicle design process. Aim is to
-
achieve a major revolution in digital product development, in which an upfront engineering capability precedes detailed design, and in which CAE supports defining design requirements, so that design decisions can be taken earlier and more effectively
-
enable a multi-attribute process, allowing to balance possibly conflicting attributes
-
provide an integrated optimization process from the concept stage onwards, supporting OEMs to shorten the design process with improved quality and at reduced costs
-
develop related simulation methodologies which will make Europe again take the lead on the level of CAE, one of the fastest growing global ICT technology fields
This requires advances in multiple involved disciplines along a logical sequence, from componentlevel
modeling approaches up to system-level applications.
