Engineers at BE CAE & Test, a COMSOL-certified consultant, have taken the simulation process beyond the typical approach of “run a test/deliver a report.”
Noumenon Multiphysics simulation consultants use an advanced understanding of physics and mathematics to build new simulation platforms or help customers use simulation platforms optimally.
Using what it calls ‘ray-tracing’ software, it enables the training of ADAS systems entirely by simulation. The company says eight of the top 10 OEMs are using it.
To support the development and testing of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), dSPACE has extended its simulation model for traffic and environment simulations.
Electric and autonomous vehicles introduce new demands for optimized sensor placement and whole-vehicle thermal management that the latest simulation software can help address.
Range anxiety is not just affecting EV drivers on the road; it is also a significant hurdle for Formula E teams on the track. U.K. simulator specialist rFpro says its technology can help.
PowerINSIGHT 2.0 from Exa Corp. provides real-time collaboration to reduce the risk of product compromise and costly late-stage design changes. The upgrade derives compelling presentations from terabytes of simulation data rapidly and accurately, the company claims.
New advances in manufacturing have allowed Smalley engineers to design and manufacture wave springs and retaining rings as small as 4 mm (0.16 in) in diameter.
It's the same length, has some carryover styling cues, but the 2016 U.S. model is a new engineering execution co-developed by Mercedes-Benz and Renault. It features a new 0.9-L turbocharged three-cylinder, a choice of two transmissions, and better ride quality.
Executives at the CAR Management Briefing Seminars discuss how best to implement the advanced technologies, such as collaborative robots, augmented reality, and big data analytics, that will enable the factory of the future.
Statistics may point to human fallibility being the cause of almost all road accidents, but the switch to a connected robotic environment must ultimately deliver every nano-second of every day on the promise of a guaranteed near-total safety highway environment. Today’s grudging acceptance by the global public of the inevitability of deaths and injuries on the road will not continue in a driverless environment.
