Engineering Analysis & Simulation in the Automotive Industry:

Electrification & Advanced Lightweighting Techniques

Date: Thursday, April 27th, 2017

Location: Troy, MI

Conference Presentations and Recordings Now Available!

Overview

As government demands aggressive Fuel Economy and CO2 carbon emissions requirements, it has become imperative for engineers to look for new and inventive solutions to meet the imposed demands to deliver fuel efficient clean vehicles. These are being achieved by intense efforts of electrification of powertrains, as well as aggressive weight reduction efforts imposed during the vehicle development.

Automotive manufacturers and suppliers are already asked to develop innovative, safe, and dependable vehicles to market as efficiently as possible; meeting environmental requirements through electrification and light weighting solutions while also addressing fluctuating consumer needs adds yet another complex element into the automaker’s task.

Topics presented and discussed at this conference will address various questions, such as:

What CAE techniques are being used to drive various powertrain electrification design alternatives (i.e., HEVs, PHEVs, EBVs, etc.)?
What are the methods used for modeling and simulation of advanced composites/ plastics to drive light weighting design?
What solutions are available to help me with the evaluation of these technologies, based on demonstrated successful applications?
What steps should I take when exploring the widening technology landscape?

Description

NAFEMS Americas and invited speakers will cover these topics, and more, at, “Engineering Analysis & Simulation in the Automotive Industry: Electrification & Advanced Lightweighting Techniques." Located at the MEC in Troy, MI, attendees from the major automotive manufacturers and suppliers will gather at this annual event, in a pre-competitive manner, to exchange ideas, identify best practices, and drive the near-future direction of technology.

This event aims to deliver information and insights on critical topic areas in a manner that maximizes the “take-away” value for attendees. An event agenda and concept championed by several leading figures in the automotive industry will provide the opportunity to learn about the latest technologies and practices, which attendees can later share and apply within their own organizations.
