Global Seating Systems uses simulation to achieve best-in-class comfort for military seats
Virtual SeatAerospace & Defense, Ground Transportation 
The end result we achieved thanks to Virtual Seat Solution is what we believe to be best-in-class comfort, which is one of the most important elements for the occupant.
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 Virtual Seat Solution 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.

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
