3 Fahrzeugsicherheit Berlin e.v. COMPUTER-AIDED ENGINEERING AND Q MODEL DEVELOPMENT 3

4 CAE Computer aided engineering (CAE) is the broad usage of computer Software to aid in engineering tasks Benefits: Early and better analysis of design problems Optimization of design problem Shorten design time and reduce costs Fahrzeugsicherheit Berlin e.v. 4

5 Bottlenecks Current bottlenecks for broad use of CAE in child safety domain Physical testing costs are relatively low No urgent need for OEM s Availability of Child Restraint System (CRS) models Limited experience at CRS industry Availability of models of the test procedures Availability of high quality dummy models Fahrzeugsicherheit Berlin e.v. 5

6 Expected developments Introduction of Q dummies increases testing costs Meeting future requirements is getting harder Euro NCAP is likely promoting older children Carrestraintsystem restraint system isgetting more importantfor child safety rating Fahrzeugsicherheit Berlin e.v. 6

10 Car industry requirements General: Harmonisation of hardware (Denton and FTSS) Models must represent the latest hardware (or maybe the hardware level of the customer) Correct implementation of the hardware are Geometry, mass and inertia Correct material properties (e.g., separation vinyl and foam) Implementation of all sensors (required and optional) Close collaboration between manufacturer of hardware and developer of models Knowledge about the manufacturing process Source: Dr. -Ing. Christian Gehre Partnership for dummy technology and biomechanics Automotive CAE Grand Challenge 2009 Fahrzeugsicherheit Berlin e.v. 10

11 Car industry requirements Technical: Time step of approx. 1 microsecond (dummies) without mass scaling Same geometry, mesh, joint angles for all codes (if possible) Numerically robust High level of predictability Detailed report of the validation process No need to use highly detailed models in general Support: Quick response time Regular updates and improvements Source: Dr. -Ing.
