Case Study: F.S. Fehrer Automotive GmbH achieves enhanced seat performance and faster, cost-efficient CAE simulations with Altair HyperWorks (RADIOSS)

HyperWorks seats you better - CAE platform helps to improve development processes at F.S. Fehrer Automotive GmbH

FS Fehrer Automotive GmbH, an international supplier of automotive interior systems, faced the challenge of developing molded foam pads and complete seating systems that meet strict requirements for ergonomics, vibration damping, durability and climatic comfort. The company needed simulation tools that were easy to learn, affordable, and capable of delivering accurate, fast results with a reliable solver—so FS Fehrer Automotive GmbH adopted Altair’s HyperWorks Suite, using RADIOSS for static and modal analysis.

Altair implemented HyperWorks (including the RADIOSS solver) across Fehrer’s development process to support analyses from concept to series production; RADIOSS delivered precise, fast linear, nonlinear and vibration simulations that improved seat structure performance and sped development cycles. With Altair’s unique pay‑for‑use licensing and strong product support, FS Fehrer Automotive GmbH realized a markedly enhanced development process, better product performance and an improved cost/benefit profile.
