Structure development


Structure development is a field of competence which requires close coordination between the individual specialist departments of our corporation. The objective coordination between pre-development, design, construction and simulation is a vital necessity, above all in the early phase of development, so that our customer project costs can be optimized early on in the process. Right from the early project phases up to conclusion thereof we are able to perform all necessary work under one roof.


The virtual development of a vehicle (construction/simulation), the rapid construction of the proto-types for the different experimental series, as well as experimental performance, can be performed flexibly, quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively for our customers. This eliminated long transportation delays, interface between many suppliers, and costly data handling.


From our point of view, in order to meet the corresponding demands regarding the auto body tasks/ the bodyshell work respectively, the following four important pillars must be fulfilled: structure development, legal requirements, customer requirements, and technical standing, including the realization of the newest technologies.

These effect the areas of:

1. Function Layout
2. Safety Aspects (active and passive systems)
3. Rigidity requirements
4. Optic / Styling / Design

In order to guarantee this, the individual automotive areas will be optimized according to the already created virtual data models, so that legal requirements as well as the customers’ wishes and expectations can be confirmed as early as the first proto-type vehicles. This is achievable through the wide spectrum of test installations and test equipment at Concept Technologie.

As a result of the ever decreasing development time and ever increasing purchaser expectations regarding safety without appropriate amendment of production costs, the financial pressure on series development is dramatically intensifying.

Calculations applied in the vehicle development process, shorten the development period, whilst additionally lowering the costs. We offer calculation services in order to assist our customers in justifying market economy demands.

For this reason we employ the highly qualified staff who are able to thoroughly examine problems and provide complete solutions. In order to meet the challenge which the calculation demands of us, the necessary software and hardware, besides the well-trained co-workers, is required. In addition to the explicit FE-Solvers PamCrash and LsDyna, we also use special software for the crash-calculation in order to solve static or quasi-static problems. For pre-processing we use the Medina program, for post-processing, software solvers such as Animator, Pam View or LSTCPost. For the calculation we have an efficient Linuxcluster at our disposal.
