VECOM training "Simulation methodologies for the vehicle structure"

Università degli Studi di Firenze and Centro Ricerche Fiat have the pleasure to invite you to the technical training “Simulation methodologies for the vehicle structure”, organized in the framework of the Vehicle COncept Modeling (VECOM) project. The training will be held in Florence on 9-10 February 2012. The address of the venue is Centro Didattico Morgagni, Viale Morgagni 40, Florence.

The training will focus on numerical methods for design of vehicle body and chassis with two particular aspects: structural optimization and methods for vehicle design; FE modeling with composite materials.

The participation at this training is free of charge. To attend to this event, please send back the filled in registration form to Pavlina Mihaylova by email or fax (+390554796489) not later than 13.01.2012.

VECOM: Short description

The aim of the proposed training network is to provide dedicated research training in the emerging field of vehicle concept modelling for up-front pre-CAD functional performance engineering, bridging between industry and academia across Europe. The research area is of highly strategic importance to European automotive OEMs, who must launch products on an ever shorter time frame, at increased quality of multiple performance attributes. When simulation results become available in an early design stage, problems can already be solved before the first detailed CAD model is created, which will increase the quality of the first detailed simulation models and reduce the time to market. Moreover, early what-if studies can be performed to balance and optimize possibly conflicting performance attributes (safety, NVH, dynamics, durability ...) at an increased feasibility and at reduced costs. Novel methods will be developed to address this industrial need for a novel engineering process in which analysis leads the design. Applications will be worked out across partners and application fields, fully embedded in the vehicle industry context. Apart from benefits to researchers, partners and supervisors (OEMs), the proposed project will strengthen the competitive position of the European vehicle industry in the increasingly global market.
