ESI Virtual Performance Solution helped ŠKODA score 5 star rating from Euro NCAP
Virtual PerformanceGround Transportation 
ŠKODA has been using ESI Virtual Performance Solution (VPS) successfully for many years, to conduct virtual car crash tests, to ensure the safety of both the occupants and pedestrians, and to check the stiffness or frequency response of car body components such as the hood or headlamps, all on a single-core model. In designing the new and revolutionary ŠKODA Superb, we used VPS early in the development cycle, before design freeze, conducting thousands of virtual tests, investigating different options and design variants, making the best trade-offs, and ultimately obtaining 5 stars at the EuroNCAP.
Challenge
Ensuring that new cutting-edge automotive designs meet the latest safety and performance requirements can be quite an obstacle for automakers. This challenge is intensified by the fact that designers and engineers are not able to iterate on designs early in the product development cycle - unless they are using Virtual Prototyping.
Story
Striving to meet recent changes in automotive safety regulations presents new challenges for design engineers. They know they need to take their testing to the next level and for that, they can rely heavily on ESI Virtual Performance Solution (VPS) simulation software. Read more.
Benefits
Using ESI Virtual Performance Solution (VPS), ŠKODA engineers were able to virtually test the performance of the investigate several options and perform iterations before design was frozen. Using VPS paid off as the ŠKODA Superb received the highest safety rating from Euro NCAP.
