Address the challenges of designing, analyzing and manufacturing automotive composites

Even though automotive manufacturers have been using composites since the 1950s, composites have not yet been adopted on a large scale because of technical issues like material characterization, manufacturing and joining. While Composites have been utilized more frequently in recent years, new performance, safety and fuel economy standards are dictating the increased need for composites in mass production.

Traditional composites solutions cover the design, analysis and manufacturing of composite parts in a sequential, time-consuming and non-collaborative process. Burdened by heavily manual operations, these traditional solutions make it difficult to utilize composite materials in design. To overcome this challenge and make the integration of composites widely available, Dassault Systèmes offers an end-to-end process-oriented Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution for composites that combines the power of virtual design, virtual testing and virtual production, all on a single virtual platform. This seamless end-to-end process makes it possible for companies to find design or manufacturing process flaws at any stage of the product development – simplifying the processes and reducing the costs of designing composite structures.

Read our Automotive Composite White Paper below and learn how automotive manufacturers and suppliers can use a complete set of process-oriented solutions to:
• Design, simulate and manufacture composite structures on a single virtual platform
• Accelerate the use of composites in mass produced vehicles
• Improve performance, safety and fuel economy
