The Digital Vehicle for Fast and Sustainable Development, Daimler Truck
Presenter:
Dr. Marko Weirich, Daimler Truck AG
Abstract:
Daimler Truck has created a global platform for virtual vehicle and powertrain function development. The platform includes a digital collaboration framework where models of vehicle subsystems are combined to modules that represent the physical and controls the behavior of a real truck. Depending on the actual task different levels of model accuracy and runtime requirements can be selected, starting from simple 0-dimensional up to complex 3-dimensional FE computation.
Various applications of the platform are already an integral part of the development process and save time and costs as well as provide options that cannot be covered by testing. A virtual engine test bench, the co-simulation of a multi-body vehicle model with a control module, and the extension of the platform to 3D applications for safety system simulations are examples for the use of the platform.

Bringing 100% Electric, Zero-Emission Mobility Products to Life, CaetanoBus
Presenter:
Paulo Marques - CTO, Caetanobus
Abstract:
Early 2010 was when CaetanoBus started, giving the first steps in chassis development and e. Mobility solutions, when almost nobody talks about it. More than 10 years later, CaetanoBus achieve the target of having their own solutions as an OEM, creating platforms for BEV and FCEV that are running worldwide. This was only possible due to the proper vision and a big investment on the company, with the correct people, close customers, and strong suppliers, clearly defining a long-range Product Development Program betting on a strong product lifecycle, from the negotiation up to the decommissioning.
Nowadays time-to-market is really a success factor and choosing the correct tools and strategies as virtual predicting tools that accelerate and reduce product development costs and time, is what CaetanoBus is looking for with ESI, where Virtual Proving Ground, Energetic Validation and Thermal Validation tools are contributing for better products and less time to market.
Impact of Crash Simulation on Validation Plan Efficiency and Prototype Cost Reduction, Renault
Presenter:
William Bécamel - Expert Leader Numerical Modeling and Simulation, Renault
Abstract:
One of the main challenges for the Automotive Industry is to develop new vehicles as quick as possible, by maintaining quality and by decreasing validation cost. To reach this target, efficient and predictive numerical tools are key in order to succeed “the first time right” during validation. After briefly reviewing the global Renault strategy in terms of digitalization and more particularly on 3D simulations, William Bécamel will illustrate it with crash simulation examples and will show all benefits obtained on the New Megane Etech development.
