We were honored to have Benjamin Beckelynck from Optimec Consultants present at the SIMULIA Americas Users Conference, May 3-4, 2023 in Novi, Michigan.

Abstract: Virtual testing by simulations have become increasingly important in the automotive industry to help companies mitigate the risk of failing certification tests. This paper presents several industrial cases, following the industry standards set by the FMVSS, the NHTSA and the MASH. Virtual testing allowed to detect the potential sources of failure and to rectify any design flaws, avoiding the manufacturers’ substantial costs and significantly reducing their time to market
