During the MBS Tech Days 2021, Christoph Rudhart from Mercedes-Benz held a presentation titled "Simpack @ Mercedes-Benz Passenger Cars Development".

Since its introduction in 2019, Simpack has become the primary tool for multi-body simulations in developing passenger cars at Mercedes-Benz. Applications range from predevelopment and predesign of chassis systems over durability calculations to ride comfort and NVH. The large variety of applications leads to many models and load cases with different states of complexity. To handle this, Simpack Wizard is used in combination with a customized Automotive Database, covering all the load cases and model variations, while keeping the common basis of the models as large as possible. The presentation gives an overview of the applications of Simpack in Mercedes-Benz passenger car development.

​​​​​​​Christoph Rudhart, born in Friedrichshafen, Germany, earned his Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from the University of Stuttgart. After entering Daimler AG in 2008, he held several positions in the Departments for Powertrain Development and Chasis Systems. His main field of work is the Simulation of Ride Comfort with Simpack.
