Light weight and well balanced design is becoming more and more important. To support this challenge, the use of CAE and optimization needs to be efficiently introduced during the development process. This presentation will give you an overview of how Volvo Cars strategically work with simulation driven development to support light weighting. Benefits and challenges with simulation driven development will be presented along with a number of inspirational cases with focus on topology optimization.
Harald Hasselblad works as a Technical Expert within weight management at Volvo Cars. He is responsible for corporate weight strategies and driving an Optimization Competence Arena, supporting Simulation Driven Development within the company. The arena supports the development and implementation of methods and tools for efficient engineering and optimization in early and late project phases. Harald also coordinates a national network between OEMs, institutes and universities in Sweden. Harald started his carrier as a PhD student at Volvo Cars 1999. His research area was focusing on topology optimization and methods for the early concept phases. Harald’s expertise lies within conceptual analysis and optimization and working with development of methods and tools for structural optimization. He received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the Linköping University, Sweden. He has now worked at Volvo Cars for 25 years.
The presentation will give a brief overview of the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI) operations, with a special focus on modeling and simulation related research and development. Examples on the use of simulation in the transport systems domain will be highlighted as well as perspectives on how simulation facilitates decision support for addressing current challenges in the development of the transport system.
Dr. Magnus Eek is Research Director at VTI, heading a research unit focused on vehicle systems, simulation, and visualization. Furthermore, he is leading VTI’s strategic initiative to enhance research capability in sustainable air transport systems. He has extensive experience from the defense industry, working at Saab with Model-based Systems Engineering, Research & Technology strategy, as well as research project- and program management. The time at Saab Aeronautics included an industrial PhD connected to Linköping University, focusing on methods for verification, validation, and credibility assessment of simulation models and large-scale aircraft system simulators.
