The climate change situation is getting ever more serious, as experts warn that we only have a few years to mitigate the damage before the Earth becomes a much more difficult place to live.
Porous elastomeric materials are widely used in industrial and commercial applications, especially as shock-absorbers, dampeners, packaging material, etc. Often times these applications involve very large deformations of the material. From a product design and performance perspective, engineers are usually interested in the macroscopic response of these materials and their interaction with other components in an assembly.
“The 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud is a very deep resource, with capabilities we haven’t even touched yet.” —Andrea Viti, Aerodynamic Engineer, XSun This article was originally published in the June 2019 issue of SIMULIA Community News magazine. Learn how French start-up company XSun adopts Dassault Systèmes cloud-based solutions for its design and simulation needs.
More importantly, however, the spreading awareness of climate change is bringing about a shift in people’s consummation priorities, from convenience to sustainability. While consumer tax credits may have spurred the initial adoption of electric vehicles, car buyers are factoring in sustainability as a lifestyle choice in making these purchase decisions.
Bringing a new generation of cars onto the road requires new solutions and applications that will better integrate engineering disciplines to help engineers look at vehicle performance in a new, more holistic way.
