CAE simulation: virtual design and validation of functions
In order to be able to meet our customers’ demands for shorter development periods and to achieve the project objectives, the development process at Bertrandt takes the form of simultaneous engineering. The systematic application of virtual CAE methods allows our simulation specialists to set the direction even in the early development stages for achieving the functional objectives, such as crash performance, occupant protection, stiffness and comfort quality.
Focus on reliably achieving the specified objectives
At the Simulation Competence Centre, the focus is on virtually driven development with the reliable achievement of functional objectives. Simulation is a key component of the development process today and has a decisive influence on the successful implementation of innovative ideas. Bertrandt’s comprehensive range of services adds commitment and experience. As a result, we ensure that simulation enhances efficiency in customer projects – no matter how specialised the job may be.
