The systems of modern vehicles increasingly contain intelligence and therefore require more and more electronics and software in addition to the mechanical components.
Not only the vehicles, but also the development environments are becoming more digital, more powerful and more integrated – digital twin, DMU, rapid prototyping and simulation are just a few keywords from mechanical development that illustrate this trend.
On the electronics side, the requirements for EMC, service life and functional safety are already verified during the development phase through the use of circuit simulation and multi-physics calculations.
