Shape tomorrow's mobility

Automotive engineers use MATLAB, Simulink, Comsol Multiphysics, and Speedgoat-3-1

The global automotive industry is undergoing a period of uncertainty, driven by increasing pressure to innovate, reduce costs, address environmental concerns, and adapt to shifting consumer preferences.

Automotive engineers must continuously explore innovative approaches to shorten the product development life cycle, gain a competitive edge, and improve quality. Modeling and simulation play a crucial role in this endeavor.

MathWorks®, COMSOL ®, and Speedgoat products enable engineers to streamline their development processes and deliver products that minimize environmental impact while improving operational safety, increasing performance, and delivering new comfort levels.

Engineers use our products to:

  • Investigate design concepts for production.
  • Optimize design for best performance by evaluating different geometries, configurations, materials, and other parameters.
  • Develop virtual prototypes and digital twins.
  • Couple multiple physical phenomena, such as heat transfer, structural mechanics, fluid flow, acoustics, etc.
  • Build, solve, and post-process models in a single environment.
  • Perform simulation with Simulink.
  • Simulate complete acoustics on the basis of a vehicle’s CAD model.
  • Build simulation apps.
