Vehicle performance is the study of the motion of a vehicle. The motion of any vehicle depends upon all the forces and moments that act upon it. These forces and moments, for the most part are caused by interaction of the vehicle with the surrounding medium(s) such as air or water (e.g. fluid static and dynamic forces), gravitational attraction (gravity forces), Earth’s surface (support, ground, or landing gear forces), and on-board energy consuming devices such as rocket, turbojet, piston engine and propellers (propulsion forces). Consequently, in order to fully understand the performance problem, it is necessary to study and, in some way, characterize these interacting forces.
How To Build An Electric Vehicle?
Disruption in the Automotive and Transportation industry is well under way. How we get from Point A to Point B is being reinvented due to increasing urbanization. This is driving the convergence of autonomous, electrification, connectivity and shared transportation systems rapidly. Auto OEMs and suppliers have to develop and execute new business models to prevent becoming obsolete as these mega trends unfold and technology innovation increases exponentially. The race is on for Auto OEM’s and suppliers to transform their business and provide multimodal mobility services for the future of mobility.
Simcenter Simulation: The Key to Make Safe Autonomous Vehicles
As vehicles become more automated with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), development and validation testing conditions need to be defined. Which scenarios should be considered for ADAS and future autonomous vehicles (AVs)? How can a large number of potential driving situations be considered and how can the most critical ones be identified? Can verification and validation (V&V) be managed in a realistic timeframe and at an acceptable cost? This blog post highlights a process applied during vehicle development, and discusses the support Siemens Digital Industries Software and ETS Solutions Asia engineering services team can provide.

Simcenter 3D for additive manufacturing simulation - Print right the first time
Additive manufacturing (AM) is changing the way products are made. New revolutionary machines and processes are rapidly pushing AM from the prototype environment onto the production floor. The additive manufacturing capabilities in Simcenter 3D software are used to predict distortions and defects before parts are printed, thereby reducing the number of test prints and improving the quality of the final print.
Addressing complex engineering challenges by enhancing simulation efficiency
Computer-aided engineering (CAE) has long proven its value as a troubleshooting and analysis tool, but is generally perceived as slow, delivering accurate results too late to drive development. The simulation process with traditional CAE tools is slow due to tedious geometry cleanup processes, and simulation disciplines are disconnected from each other, hampering efficient workflows.
