Virtual Prototyping: Accelerate Sustainable Automotive Development / Designing and manufacturing multi-material assemblies for lightweight body and chassis

Watch Tom Gill, Senior PLM Consultant at CIMdata, discuss the critical shift to virtual prototyping to build confidence in product design by predicting manufacturing, assembly, and product performance during the design phase.

Then, industry experts from ESI Group showcase practical examples of moving from a single-point process simulation towards a total virtual prototyping solution.

From local joining processes to accurate performance validation.

Car safety is not just a matter of regulation, but it saves lives. The structural integrity of the body-in-white during the crash is closely linked to weld strength. Watch and weld Rupture simulation enables engineers to test spot weld strength virtually in a cost-effective and accurate digital workflow. Learn more about

• Predicting and avoiding any unexpected joint ruptures that could lead to crash deformation.
• Using the crash model early in the physical prototype testing phase.
• Relying on digital testing to improve accuracy, efficiency, and cost.

Stories from Industry: How ProCAST Helps You Achieve Quality Castings

Discover how simulation allows cast parts manufacturers to test their casting processes 100% virtually early in the process development cycle to accurately predict and quantify defects. Watch how digital simulation supports you throughout the development and manufacturing phase of your products, and helps you:

• Accelerate the start of production by working together with customers providing part design to check for castability issues as early as possible
• Deliver accurate quotes with precise material cost estimates to safeguard your margins
• Predict, analyze, measure, and quantify the most common casting defects to reduce your scrap rates and expensive reworks
