The Challenge

Global Seating Systems designs a new lighter and thinner military seat, minimizing the weight and the overall structure while still maximizing the seat comfort. With ESI’s PAMCOMFORT simulation software, they
are able to achieve the optimum seat static pressure map and determine precisely the amount of foam needed, in order to reduce the seat overall weight.

The Benefits

. Design the seat entirely with simulation, thus avoiding the costs of
the tooling for physical prototypes,
. Measure and quantify comfort precisely through virtual prototyping,
. Optimize the seat design to reduce weight while keeping the same
level of comfort,
. Obtain physical prototypes with performances matching the simulation predictions.

“The end result we achieved thanks to PAM-COMFORT is what we believe to be best-in-class comfort, which is one of the most important elements for the occupant.”
