Renault’s Chassis Technical Center sought to reduce vehicle development lead time while enabling designers to evaluate lightweight chassis components earlier. Traditional simulation workflows were too slow and required expert analysts. With Altair SimSolid, designers ran structural analyses directly on CAD assemblies without meshing. The tool delivered results within minutes, with error rates as low as 5–10%, and reduced lead times by 25 to 100 times. The approach empowered non-experts, minimized reporting overhead, and significantly accelerated chassis development across multiple vehicle programs.
