From concept development to production scale-up, EV manufacturers face several key considerations as they navigate their journey. Can we engineer a vehicle that keeps our unique designs whilst meeting stringent safety standards in different regions? How can we do this efficiently, creating a CAE environment that scales as we grow?
With our comprehensive portfolio of services and products built upon deep industry experience and learning, we can provide the tools and support you need to accelerate your vehicle development process and develop a flexible and agile CAE approach catered to each stage of your company’s evolution.
Automotive CAE Consultancy
In realising their concepts, EV manufacturers need a head start in acquiring know-how and bringing CAE expertise onboard that can leverage a powerful and proven automotive crash and structural dynamics environment. As a trusted advisor to the automotive industry, we advise on structural design and material selection, and can help with navigating the appropriate regulations as part of your CAE, safety and materials teams.
- We have a global team of CAE analysts that are expert in structural and crash safety simulations with knowledge of the latest safety regulations and protocols to ensure your vehicle meets all occupant and pedestrian safety standards. We undertake analysis of:
- Durability
- Noise, harshness and vibration
- Occupant safety
- Interior systems
- Pedestrian safety
- We have in-depth experience of battery analysis, including:
