The current situation of the automotive industry is undergoing a fundamental change. The classical vehicle development process faces many challenges: increasing technical complexity (parallel development of many propulsion systems and new topics like

When it comes to complex production processes in the automotive industry like e-coating, using reliable CFD simulation tools to supplement expensive prototyping and physical testing has proven to be a very efficient method to optimize the design stag

Water management is an important aspect of vehicle design. It includes everything from soiling and wading to splashing and the impact this has on the vehicle's aerodynamics. Even the vehicle's windshield wipers are part of it, as is the investigation

When optimizing complete vehicles, it is essential to take interdependencies between the individual systems into account. This results in additional complexity for the development process.

A significant consequence of the automotive industry's shift to electrification is that a significantly higher percentage of a vehicle's lifecycle CO₂ emissions occur during the production phase.

Early in the development process, when there are no prototypes of the vehicle yet, it is difficult to find the right balance between vehicle characteristics such as maximum range and driving pleasure.
