The wider discipline

Seat Design

The use of Finite Element and CFD-based design solutions can provide significant benefits for seat design in the automotive industry. By using this tool, manufacturers can anticipate manufacturing issues and ensure just-in-time delivery, reducing costs and improving efficiency. The ability to meet regulatory requirements is also a key benefit, as virtual testing can help to ensure compliance with safety standards such as EuroNCAP, JapanNCAP, China C-NCAP, NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) and IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety).
