Vehicle Body Engineering: BIW, Chassis

Vehicle Body Engineering

Hybrid Aluminium sheet metal parts and use of composites leading to the development of lightweight structure are the latest design trends in the vehicle body and chassis structures. Simulations are integral part of Vehicle body engineering. Over the years, we have developed very good hands on in the areas of Car crash, Strength, Stiffness, NVH and durability related to the vehicle body engineering.

Implementation of batch meshing and optimization of batch mesh parameters are some of the interesting method development projects carried out at our end. Those projects resulted in the significant time and cost savings for our customers.

ESPL has extensively worked on the following different crash simulations based on different global safety standards.
