Solution spaces for vehicle development

The robust design of communal vehicle components is a big challenge because of very different demands from engineering disciplines. Requirements concerning design, usability and performance are getting higher, and also official regulations such as vehicle emissions must be considered. Furthermore, the specific components are bound to characteristics like bending property and tension strength. ClearVu Solution Spaces (CVSS) enables you to systematically find a design that fulfills all restrictions and does not exceed any limit values. CVSS also provides clear visualizations of the solution spaces and other information.

  • How does the current design
    have to be adjusted?
  • Which requirements must be fulfilled by the single components to reach the desired result?
  • Are such components already available? If not, are very similar components available?
  • Which component for communal design construction can be used across multiple vehicle models?

Fig. 1: The process starts with mostly invalid designs (red dots). With drag and drop you can move the black lines to narrow down and identify possible solution spaces.

Fig. 2: After the solution space has been optimized, the valid solutions (green dots) are clearly recognizable.

developed and optimized for practical applications

The software was developed and optimized for practical applications in cooperation with the inventor of the underlying methods, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Markus Zimmermann (Technical University of Munich, Chair of Product Development, Design Systematics and Lightweight Design), during his employment at BMW Group. A detailed explanation using a simple crash design problem can be found in the linked presentation. ClearVu Solution Spaces is available for Windows and Linux.

The most important functions of CVSS

Interfaces to simulation programs simplify the import of the simulation results to CVSS. The generated solution space is automatically evaluated concerning the defined criteria and then optimized. Moreover, CVSS provides a manual adjustment of variables and their limit values, thus the definition of the solution space (Fig. 1 & 2). The variables are evaluated in scatter charts and the resulting solutions are marked with different colors. The aim is to get a solution space with feasible solutions only, marked by green dots.
