Win with Faster Simulation

While putting together this webcast about tire and road modeling advances in Adams, I was reminded of a compelling difference between some users of simulation.  Some are in competitive spaces in which almost any amount of simulation, no matter how small, provides a company distinct advantage.  Others, like those in the automotive industry, are not.

The vast majority of automakers already employ simulation to great degrees within their design processes.  So, there, in order to gain a competitive advantage one must not just tighten the product development process with simulation but simulate better than their peers.  Getting accurate results faster than the other team is a great way to get an edge.   The functionality items I covered in that webcast achieve this end.  I described savings from using integrated tools for fitting tire data and representing deformable roads.  I quantified reductions in things like model load time and run time by using a CRG representation for high-resolution road profiles. 

Going through this reinforced to me that many can’t get by only accelerating the design process with simulation; they need the process of simulation, itself, accelerated.   Are you one of them?  Look around at your competitors and at your own simulation processes.  Maybe it’s time to accelerate.  MSC can help.  Check out more recent accelerators in Adams for productivity and performance.
