CURRENT & FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES IN AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING SIMULATION
The subsequent sections, 4.2–4.4, describe Best Practices and
Breakthrough Technologies within these three selected Key Technology
Areas.
Of course there are many other important topics that could be covered and
investigated, but because of the limitations which inevitably arise from the
project’s fixed duration and available funding, the AUTOSIM consortium
concentrated on a subset of items agreed to during the preliminary
workshops.
4.2 Integration of Simulation into the Development Process
The AUTOSIM project considers integration to be a high-level objective. Its
purpose is to identify simulation technologies, methods, and methodologies
that have the potential to support the European automotive industry in its
goal of reducing the product development cycle from the current time span
of 25–30 months to a target goal of 18–24 months (Fig. 4.2.1).
