Digitalization and the Future of Vehicle Performance Engineering

What is the future of the digital twin in automotive?
How to accelerate product design and get it right the first time?
Will it replace physical testing entirely?

Undoubtedly, some manufacturers are interested in completely replacing testing with simulation as it would speed up their development process and reduce costs. But would it produce good enough results?

As you might expect, there’s no straightforward answer to these questions. To better understand the current state of play of digitalization and simulation in the automotive industry and what the future may hold, Alexander Heintzel – Editor-in-Chief at ATZ International, brought together two experts to give their insights.

Steven Dom is Director of Automotive Industry Solutions at Simcenter, and Tom Van Houcke is Simcenter’s Director of Engineering and Consulting Services.

They recorded a podcast essential for anyone involved in digitalization and vehicle performance engineering. It’s a fascinating conversation that covers all these questions and more, so be sure to listen to the full podcast
