Discover how the latest simulation tools are driving the automotive industry forward. During The Journey of a Bearing, leading experts demonstrate how they optimize bearings and drivetrains for the future of mobility.
The automotive industry is changing rapidly
Electrification of the powertrain and other new technologies are driving a fundamental transformation in the automotive industry. Manufacturers and suppliers are investing heavily to remain relevant, while new players increase competition and further intensify cost pressure.
Advanced simulation tools play a key role in this shift. They enable faster refinement of designs and the development of new solutions, while keeping prototyping and testing costs under control.
A crucial element in this evolution? Rolling bearings – the foundation of every rotating application.
At this event, you will discover how experts in drivetrains and rotating systems are tackling these challenges with the cutting-edge simulation tools of Hexagon Design and Engineering.
