FEA Simulation for Seat Softness and Hardness Prediction
Industries Seat Design

Our engineering team’s finite element simulation expertise allows us to test the softness and hardness of the seat, helping optimize the design and ensure maximum passenger comfort. Our process incorporates international standards, such as SAE J2896 (Motor Vehicle Seat Comfort Performance Measures J2896), to cover all aspects of design and simulation according to global requirements.

Additionally, our numerical simulation procedures ensure prediction accuracy through the consistent chaining of stresses and strains derived from the trim manufacturing and assembly process.

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).
