Eliminate Prototypes from Vehicle Testing
eBooks
This eBook examines how automakers are transforming crash and safety engineering through virtual prototyping, enabling safer vehicles, faster certification, and reduced physical testing. Growing regulatory pressure, the rise of EVs, and complex new safety requirements demand early, accurate prediction of crash behavior, battery performance, structural strength, and airbag deployment. Virtual performance simulation allows engineers to evaluate full‑vehicle crash scenarios, advanced human body models, battery crush and fire risks, multi‑material strength, and in‑operation dynamics before prototypes exist. Keysight’s Virtual Performance Solution (VPS) and related tools support end‑to‑end digital workflows—including airbag engineering, crashworthiness, battery safety, and strength/dynamics—enhancing speed, accuracy, cost efficiency, and compliance with Vision Zero goals.
