Welcome to attend Iñigo Alonso Fernández's PhD thesis defence 20 September 2024, 9:00–12:00 Title: Balancing Value Trade-Offs in Automotive Platform Evolution Location: Virtual Development Laboratory, Chalmers Tvärgata 4C, or online on Zoom: https://lnkd.in/d4YVzzMx Popular science description: The automotive industry is undergoing rapid changes, with new technologies and shifting consumer demands requiring manufacturers to be more adaptable than ever. Traditional car platforms that prioritise cost efficiency and standardisation often fall short in this fast-paced environment, leading to increased costs and missed opportunities. This thesis offers a novel approach to overcome these challenges by designing flexible car platforms that can seamlessly integrate future technologies. Central to this approach is the early incorporation of flexibility into the design process. The research introduces innovative concepts such as "platform margins”, which allow designers to anticipate and accommodate future changes without significant redesign, and "resilient objects”, which are components designed to easily absorb the impact of technological advancements on the system architecture. These methods were validated through case studies with Swedish automotive companies, demonstrating their effectiveness. The contribution of this research is significant: it provides a strategic framework for balancing immediate cost considerations with the long-term need for adaptability. This enables car platforms to remain competitive and ready for the rapid introduction of new technologies, such as electric vehicles, autonomous driving, and advanced connectivity solutions. This thesis not only addresses current industry challenges but also positions the automotive sector to lead in innovation, making it more resilient to future technological shifts.

Altair Technology Conference México 2024 Junio 6, 2024 Casa Xipe, CDMX Enhancing Automotive Safety: Insights into Durability Validation at Joyson Safety Systems This presentation is taking Steering Wheels structural durability CAE design and validation as an example. The methodology and process developed and employed by JSS for Steering wheel durability design encompasses a comprehensive suite of simulations and validation tests, with a primary emphasis on vibration performance evaluation through Finite Element Analysis (FEA) techniques utilizing Altair’s Optistruct and NCode software. The CAE analyses include natural frequency (NF), Frequency Response Analysis (FRF), cyclic push-pull fatigue, cyclic torsion, cyclic rim-roll fatigue, shock test, etc. The CAE models for these test evaluations are validated with a series of physical tests, which facilitates the comparison of responses and performance against test data. Presentation highlights compelling results demonstrating at least in 80% or better correlation between CAE and tested data. This level of correlation empowers JSS to confidently predict, evaluate and propose robust design solutions complying with product specifications. #engineering #simulation #safety https://lnkd.in/eQRXrdcU

📺Webinar: Magna International's latest 800v electric drive system Magna’s new 800V eDrive is based on a KPI-driven generation approach and can be applied as a highly efficient primary or complementary drive with optional eDecoupling to battery electric vehicles from the C, D, and E segments. Designed as a drop-in solution, the eDrive generation incorporates several new advanced technologies to offer significant reductions in weight and size compared to the current generation. One industry-first advancement is the ability to rotate the eDrive 90° around the drive axis, improving system integration by allowing the same eDrive to be used at both the front and rear of the vehicle. Another new to-market technology is Magna’s next-gen High-Voltage Embedding SiC power module with fewer parts and interfaces creating higher efficiency. Weighing only 75 kg and with a 29% reduction in z dimension, it allows for easier integration into the rear and front vehicle space. The system achieves more than 93% efficiency in real-world driving (including WLTC and highway) by leveraging its highly efficient gearbox. This significantly improves efficiency across a wide range of vehicle speeds, making it more versatile. To increase flexibility eDrives can also be equipped with eDecoupling and park lock. Magna’s new eDrives exhibit enhanced product and production sustainability, as well as improved system integration. They require less aluminum and rare earth materials, reducing CO2 emissions during production by approximately 20%.

Facing digital acceleration, automotive developers cannot use the methods of the past! 📢 As software complexity accelerates and development timelines shorten, the pressure on automotive development intensifies. Engineers are tasked with developing high-quality products in record time while facing accelerating system complexity. Enter virtualization—the key tool to accelerate development, master complexity and reduce the need for physical prototypes. Through a virtualized process, simulation models enable specific testing of functions, paving the way for what is known as XiL (X-in-the-loop). Prominent examples of XiL test instances are SiL and HiL, both of which offer solutions to many test cases. This way, OEMs and suppliers can develop products faster at lower cost. Join us for our series on virtualization over the next few months. We'll explore the relevance, concepts, and transformation to virtualization in automotive development. Our inaugural post sheds light on the relevance of virtualization and how it can help you solve today’s challenges. Any questions or comments about the possibilities of XiL? Join the conversation with our experts, Mirko Engelhard, Dr. Dominik Boemer, PMP and Daniel Guse, in the comments below!
