Accelerating digital transformation through Simulation
12th October 2023
Prof. Neha Chauhan (Mechanical Engg.) along with ME Department student attended "Road To Virtual World" International CAE Automotive Conference on 12th October 2023 hosted by SAEINDIA at the Crown Plaza in Gurugram.
Theme of the conference was "Accelerating digital transformation through Simulation" and brought together distinguished Industry Leaders and Technology Experts from various renowned international organizations. Some of the main experts are: Dr. Pankaj Priyadarshi, Group Director, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, ISRO, Dr. Tapan Sahoo, Executive Director, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, Dr. Renuka Srinivasan Director, Dassault Systemes India, Mr. Bruno Carre, CTO, Sujan Continental, Andreas Kiesel, Head of Competence Center, IAMT Engineering, Dr. Sujith Nair, Vice President, CEAT Ltd., Prof. R. Krishna Kumar Institute Professor, IIT Madras.
Speakers of the conference highlighted, the automotive industry stands out for its central role in harnessing the capabilities of simulations to drive revolutionary changes in vehicle design, manufacturing processes, safety protocols, and overall performance. They discussed, the transformative approach sheds light on how the industry of the world is now shifting towards a more sustainable, interconnected, and technologically advanced future with the indispensable assistance of simulation technologies.
Dr. Pankaj Priyadarshi, (Group Director of VSSC – ISRO) mentioned how the success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission required all the trajectory mathematics undergoing extensive simulation design, thus becoming the anchor for most hypotheses. “As aero-thermodynamic challenges increase, simulation testing becomes crucial for these calculations. Dr. Tapan Sahoo said, as consumer is very value conscious, thus there is a need to develop affordable products delivered in a short period of time
The conference was highly interactive and informative, providing attendees with valuable insights into the futuristic approaches adopted by their research and development team of various global organizations.
