Lumbar support for Car Seat
Industries Seat Design
Lumbar support is an important feature in automotive seating, as it can help reduce lower back pain and fatigue for occupants. Finite element simulation allows our engineers to integrate mechanical or pneumatic lumbar support into virtual seat prototypes and analyze the effects on occupant comfort and posture. Special purpose dummies and human models, can be used to simulate the effects of lumbar support actuation and optimize the system for maximum comfort and effectiveness.

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).
