Case Study: Continental Automotive improves occupant safety evaluation with Cadence OIC and META automation

Continental Automotive cuts post-processing time with Cadence META automation

Continental Automotive, a technology leader in integrated vehicle safety systems, faced a time-consuming and inconsistent process for evaluating occupant simulation results. Their challenge was the manual post-processing of data from crash simulations, which involved comparing results against physical test data and regulatory standards, a workflow prone to variability. To address this, they turned to Cadence and its META post-processor, specifically the Occupant Injury Criteria (OIC) tool, seeking automation to improve efficiency.

Cadence implemented an automated workflow using the OIC tool to process simulation data, integrate regulatory thresholds, and generate standardized reports. This solution significantly reduced post-processing and report generation time, accelerating project timelines. It also ensured consistent, standards-compliant outputs and enabled reliable validation against physical test data. The result for Continental Automotive was a streamlined, efficient process with improved repeatability across all safety evaluation projects.
