Improved Development Approach Using Fast Concept Modeling and Optimization

Carsten Höfer, Hyundai

In order to accelerate the development process and improve the product quality vehicle concepts need to be assessed in an early development stage by upfront CAE. This paper describes a new approach in fast conceptual modeling using the CATIA Add-On “Fast Concept Modeler” in combination with an automatic CAE based optimization loop based on optimization of a bumper system in terms of low speed impact. The process and its advantages and disadvantages will be discussed in detail as well as its ability to accelerate the development process,
