Customers want it all. A fuel efficient and a comfortable car, a reliable vehicle - also after driving 300 km, and a design that represents an image they can adhere to. These expectations bring a variety of new challenges and put pressure on development teams. To set realistic durability targets, manufacturers need to account for geographic differences. In order to reduce the weight of chassis and body, engineers introduce new materials, or mix various lightweight materials and focus on geometry optimization. Testing physical prototypes is expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, durability innovators optimize proving ground and public road testing and move towards more virtual prototyping to validate strength and durability performance.

Siemens PLM Software solutions help to innovate vehicle durability engineering at all stages of vehicle development. In the early stages, our road load data analytics solution consists of road load data acquisition hardware, load data analysis software and data mining engineering services and help our customers deliver for any road in the world. In the virtual design stage, our solution integrates loads prediction, stress, and fatigue analysis, while our multi-attribute balancing solution consists of testing and 3D simulation, design exploration software, and engineering services to balance weight, strength, and durability.
