automotive CAE Grand Challenge

In the last 30 years computer simulation has become an indispensable tool of automotive development. Tremendous progress in software and computer technology makes it possible today to assess product and process performance before physical prototypes have been built.
Challenges in virtual vehicle development

Despite of significant progress in simulation technology and impressive results in industrial application there remains a number of challenges.
Grand Challenge as a platform for dialog

The automotive CAE Grand Challenge stimulates the exchange between users, scientists and software developers in order to solve these challenges. Annually the current challenges in automotive CAE are being identified through a survey among simulation experts. In the conference one session is dedicated to each of the most critical challenges, the “Grand Challenges”
