1 FAURECIA Experience with Altair Automation Process Julien Tersac / Jerome Respaud Altair EHTC 17/10/2010

2 Introduction : Acteur mondial de l'automobile 2

3 Introduction : Cockpits 17,400 employees 7 R&D centers 74 plants 21 countries Instrument panels Door panels Instrument Panels: above 6.5 million parts / year Door Panels: 20 million parts / year Acoustic Modules: 13 million parts / year Door modules Acoustic systems 3

4 Introduction : North America - 9 Sites (7 plants & 2 JITs) USA (6) 6 Mexico (3) 3 Western & Eastern Europe 45 Sites (33 plants & 11 JITs) Turkey (1) Russia (1) Iran Inde (3) 3 4 China (4) 1 Thailand (1) 3 Korea (3) Japan Asia - 11 Sites (10 plants & 1JIT/plant) Mercosur - 5 Sites (4 plants & 1 JIT) 1 4 Brazil (4) Argentina (1) 4 South Africa (4) South Africa - 4 Sites (3 plants & 1 JIT) FIS Sites IS incl.

6 CAE into Faurecia Interior System CAE within PMS Product simulation Process simulation Program Management System Cockpit / IP / Console Head impact Knee impact Airbag deployment Pedestrian Impact Static Creep-expansion Vibration Air flow Door panel / Door Module Side impact Static Vibration Sun simulation Creep-expansion Injection molding Warpage Decoration process Thermocovering Skin thermoforming Fabric overmolding Foaming Cross car beam Crash Vibration 6

7 FAURECIA Experience with Altair Automation Process CAE Program Management System Design & development In design & development step, we work on all the products for the following tasks : crash static, vibration creep/expansion airflow injection covered part CAO Meshing Simulation Optimisation 7

8 Why Automate CAE process? Efficiency Cost reduction Lead time reduction Planning reduction Quality Standardization Quality increase (ISO certification, ) Reduce human sensitivity / Rework Global CAE Global load balance 8

9 Altair Hyperworks Automation possibility : a survey Focus on Hypermesh and Hyperview / Hypergraph Hypermesh HyperView / HyperGraph Basic Command file (re)play (cmf) Macros (tcl) Session file (re)play (mvw) Template file (tpl) Templex Macros (tcl) Macros + GUI (tcl) Macros + GUI (tcl) Advanced Process Manager (tcl or java) 9

10 Process Automation example 1 : inter-template communication NASTRAN is the central Template FROM / TO macros to quickly exchange data between templates Unified material database PAM-CRASH Abaqus Nastran 10

11 Process Automation Example 2 : NVH Pre-Processing automation FAURECIA knowledge & Standard Standard Nastran Parameters MACROS EIGRL output Model Specific Loadstep browser Boundary conditions SPC, MPC Customer specific Super Element, 11

12 Process Automation Example 2 : NVH Post-Processing and report automation 12

13 Process Automation example 3 : Head Impact ECE21 analysis Import model Common Part Import impactor Simulation properties Impact point location Export Define contact Iterative Part Inititial Condition Head Position Process Manager : Interactivity Browser like look n feel 13

14 Conclusion Objectives reached Faurecia / Altair partnership Standardization is a prerequisite Don t forget user s formation 14
