CAE Analysis Technology for Development Design Utilizing Statistical Sciences

ABSTRACT

In this paper, consideration is given to the validity of “statistical science”, which is necessary for innovation of the development designing process, for use in a new issue involving numerical simulation technology (CAE) in development designing. This new application of statistical science is designed to aid the transition from the “prototype / experimental based real machine evaluation method” to the “prediction evaluation method based on highly reliable CAE analysis.” More specifically, concrete examples of “statistical science study cases that contributed to CAE analysis” from automotive manufacturers are examined from the standpoint of “statistical science contributing to design science”. This was done so as to propose the “highly reliable CAE analysis system approach method” that contributes to the process innovation of development designing.
