We are witnessing the largest technology transformation in history. With the accelerating pace of innovation and the mobility revolution of CASE (connected, autonomous, shared, electric), the need to exponentially innovate to engineer what's ahead has never been more vital. 

There are critical challenges associated with making this revolution a reality. Join Automotive IQ and Ansys as we discuss these challenges and the available solutions using powerful and accurate simulation tools.

During this online event, hear from leading automotive organizations and industry experts on topics such as:

Electrification: The biggest challenges are cost, range anxiety, performance and safety. Hear how the use of simulation applied to these four critical technology areas mean better battery systems, power electronics and motors, and a way to design an integrated, more efficient electric powertrain system.

ADAS and autonomous vehicles: How do you ensure and prove vehicle safety? It is not possible to physically drive the number of miles needed to ensure road safety – simulation is the only way, using a safety by design and validation approach. Accurate and fast simulation tools support system definition, hardware development, system validation and software development – the key engineering challenges engineers face when ensuring road safety.

Connectivity: Discover how simulation can integrate at each level of connectivity and provide a better understanding of connectivity in electrically large environments. Including; better chip design and analysis, antenna design and integration, and communication analysis; improved signal power and optical integrity; and an increased understanding of RFI, EMI and EMC radiated susceptibility.

Attend this event to: 
  • Learn how simulation technologies are being used to accelerate innovation, design and quality to stay ahead of the competition.
  • Hear how industry experts see the future of mobility and how to overcome the critical engineering challenges.
  • Discover how simulation tools are making the mobility revolution reality.
Being at the forefront of innovation is what gives you the edge over your competitor. Find out how innovation through simulation is helping to accelerate this transformation of mobility.

Session One – Opening Keynote Session – Pushing the Boundaries of Simulation
13:20 - 13:55 CET

Virtualized design and development enables more rapid evolution, and more design evolution and changes to the cars delivers better performance on track.

During this session, Aston Martin Red Bull Racing will highlight how the team integrates and optimizes CFD processes to achieve high accuracy and efficiency to deliver hundreds of simulations every week. It will also reveal how it is pushing the boundaries of simulation to reveal all fluid flows on F1 car with Ansys Fluent.

Session Two – Achieving Assured Connected and Autonomous Vehicles
14:00 - 14:45 CET

Verification and validation (V&V) requirements present a key challenge to the automotive industry as it continues investing in automated and autonomous vehicle technologies. In this session, Geoff Davis, CSO at HORIBA, will explore recent research into a revised approach to V&V, which is being developed as an alternative to the traditional V-cycle.

If implemented as part of a type-approval process, the approach will require the utilization of scenario-based test regimes that include a combination of correlated
simulation and modelling, and physical controlled and public road test environments.

Join this session to find out more about:
  • The complexities and challenges to overcome to achieve successful V&V.  
  • Ensuring robust connected and autonomous vehicle deployment.
  • The latest and most innovative approaches to tackling V&V requirements.
Geoff Davis, CSO at HORIBA-MIRA

Session Three – CAD EMC Simulations: The new frontier for reducing engineering developing times in the e-mobility industry
15:00 - 15:45 CET

As car manufacturers convert part of their production from diesel cars to hybrid (PHEV) or fully electric (BHEV) vehicles, Meta System EMC Simulation Engineer Antonio Camarda will explore some of the solutions it is employing to tackle the associated challenges.

This session will look at how on-board chargers (OBC) are able to provide the necessary DC voltage from the AC network to charge vehicle batteries in the least possible time, and how car manufacturers are working with OBC producers to reduce their dimensions and introduce structural, thermal and electromagnetic compatibility solutions.

Camarda will look at the latest CAD tools for structural Finite Element Method (FEM), or Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), as they are consolidated within the automotive industry, as well as the challenges arising during the industry’s transition to e-mobility such as electromagnetic compatibility.

Join this session to hear about:
  • The innovative solutions car manufactures are employing to address climate pollution rules.
  • How engineering developing times are being reduced through forecasting the behavior of products through EMC simulations.
Antonio Camarda, EMC Simulation Engineer at Meta System

16:00–16:45 CET

As electrification drives future mobility and providers pivot to invest in electric vehicles (EVs), the race to capture market share is on. To succeed, manufacturers are re-engineering their vehicles to satisfy driving range, battery life, safety and cost by focusing on the four ‘pillars’ of electrification: battery, power electronics, electric motors and electric powertrain integration.

During this session, Ansys Distinguished Engineer Larry Williams will demonstrate how engineers design for the four ‘pillars’ of electrification, from batteries designed at the electrochemical level, to the integrated battery pack thermal-mechanical considerations that need to be accounted for in order to ensure reliability and safety.

Williams will provide industry examples that demonstrate how high-performance computing (HPC) can be leveraged to fully explore designs; how system simulation linked to 3D electromagnetic simulation can optimize the drive and machine; and how companies combine product simulation with hardware emulation to build drive systems before any prototypes have been built.

In this closing session, we will learn:
  • How high-performance computing (HPC) can be leveraged to fully explore designs.
  • How to achieve full system integration of the electric powertrain with system-level analysis.
