Discover how MODSIM drives innovative designs to meet Performance, Efficiency and Certification

Automobile manufacturers must quickly create stylish, unique cars that meet efficiency and emissions standards. With the rise of electric and autonomous vehicles, there is significant potential for innovation in vehicle design. However, bold designs can compromise aerodynamics, causing delays for certification. Electric and autonomous vehicles offer design opportunities but lack established performance data. To meet these challenges, manufacturers need a fast, integrated process that combines styling and engineering from the start.

To meet all requirements, modeling and simulation MODSIM must be integrated early in the design process. Simulation-driven design allows stylists and analysts to create innovative concepts, refine details, and meet performance targets.

Unlike internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, EVs don’t require an engine upfront, offering greater flexibility for designers to create exciting shapes and layouts. However, this also introduces uncharted territory, with no prior examples to guide what works. Analyzing the performance of these new designs early is essential for successful EV innovation.
