Volkswagen and ESI Group: 23 Years of Strategic Collaboration for Virtual Product Performance
Thanks to Virtual Performance Solution, Volkswagen has considerably optimized its product performance by means of significant acceleration in its overall product development process. With this new solution, the structural crash behavior under operating conditions and the process of safety checking can be comprehensively simulated in all phases of vehicle development, thereby making predictive virtual testing much more efficient.

The Challenge
- Innovate in design using new materials and cutting edge technology
- Increase efficiency of predictive virtual testing
- Use a single simulation model to run multidomain performance tests
The Benefits
- Optimize product performance: a significant acceleration in the product developmentprocess
- Reduce product development costs
- Accelerate time-to-market
- Drive product innovation
"With this further development of the software suite, ESI Group has achieved a quantum leap in the field of simulations. By being able to utilize a unique mathematical model for both crash and load testing, we’re improving our development efficiency at several stages of a project. Given the evershortening development cycles in the automobile sector, this gives us a decisive competitive edge."
