    Virtual Seat Solution

    Usually, virtual prototyping approaches require the use of different simulation softwares in order to address the whole picture. In industrial practice, such multidisciplinary approaches can only be carried-out at a reasonable cost with integrated end-to-end solutions, based on a single core model and a uniform user environment, to avoid time spent on data compatibility and model conversions.

    Today, the virtual prototyping of seats is no longer a vision. This development process is increasingly used by the automotive OEMs and seat suppliers, in order to replace the traditional trial-and-error procedures based on physical prototypes. The result is not only a cost and time-to-market reduction, but also an increase of product quality, occupant safety and innovative capability.

    Many well-known companies already use our solution:

    • F.S. Fehrer, Ford, Fuji Seat, GM, Grupo Antolin, Honda, Hyundai Motor Company, Ipeco, Johnson Controls Inc., Lear, Mazda, NHK Spring, Renault, Seat, Tachi-S, Toyota Boshoku, TS Tech, Volkswagen

    Our Virtual Seat Solution is using one single environment dedicated to the seat and is taking into account the seat manufacturing history & model sitting before testing virtually seat performances. With our solution, you can certify your physical seat prototype at first try out with accurate virtual tests:

    • Guarantee just-in-time delivery by anticipating manufacturing issues
    • Regulation requirement: Standard protocols like EuroNCAP, JapanNCAP and IIHS are captured in end-to-end virtual processes, making the virtual certification of each design iteration easier and affordable
    • Ensure the right occupant posture by predicting virtually the H-Point
    • Predict the comfort of your innovative seat using a library of dummies
