The choice of the right construction methods and materials as well as a "green, sustainable and safe" optimisation of vehicle structures are crucial for the optimal use of resources and vehicle safety. Using our advanced simulation and evaluation methods, we analyse and evaluate the behaviour of different vehicle concepts and body-in-white structures. These analyses help us to design robust and optimised components and build new development methods that simultaneously meet high safety standards and reduce product development costs.
