Case Study: Tata Motors improves door-closing simulation accuracy with Cadence Adams and Marc co-simulation

TATA Motors simulates 9,000,000 vehicles a year with Cadence Adams and Marc co-simulation

Cadence Design Systems partnered with Tata Motors, a major automotive manufacturer, to address the challenge of simulating the complex door-closing event in vehicles. The existing simulation methods were time-consuming and compromised on accuracy, making it difficult to model interactions between components like the latch and weather seal effectively.

The solution involved a co-simulation technique using Cadence's Adams Solver and Marc Advanced Nonlinear FEA Solver. This approach allowed for continuous interaction between multibody dynamics and finite element analysis models. The Cadence solution provided accurate results that matched physical tests, enabling Tata Motors to evaluate seal performance and door-closing effort with a single, efficient model, saving time and improving design analysis.
