Presentation Transcript

  1. Simulation in Design at TRW John Stenbit January 9, 2001

  2. Presentation Topics • TRW Resources & Technology Strategy • Occupant Restraints • Nuclear Waste Disposal • Lessons Learned

  3. Systems Engineering Problem must be solved end-to-end Model the total problem to determine impact of element performance on total performance Elements of the problem are partitioned to be solved by expert teams Partitioning determined by allowing simplest interfaces Verification of element performance, interface performance, and total performance through defined tests If trouble develops, use model to find alternative solutions and repartition performance requirements

  4. Systems Engineering • Concentrate on the Important Issues

  5. Commitment to Innovation Testing Facilities R & D Facilities Product Engineering Facilities

  6. Automotive Technology Trends — The Large Picture • Increasing electronics content • Transition of mechanical and hydraulic functions to electronics • Informatics and Driver Assistance Systems • Sensors and programmability replacing hard wired boxes • Active, intelligent safety • Integrated controls • Drive Train / Chassis / Safety / Interior • Industry restructuring to higher levels of integration • Modules and systems • Shift of complexity from OEM to suppliers • Impact of the e-World • e-Engineering, follow-the-sun engineering • Virtual prototyping, shorter development cycles • Agile, horizontal supply chain • The rise of hybrid / electric vehicles A Time of Rapid and Fundamental Change

  7. Some New and Exciting Things Electrically assisted steering – EPHS / column / pinion / rack drive Braking Control – ABS / traction control / vehicle stability control Automatic cruise control / stop-go radar / collision warning Chassis modules / integrated vehicle control Electric seat belt pretensioner / controllable inflators Driver / passenger / side / rollover air bags Occupant safety systems / intelligent safety systems Occupant sensing / imaging systems Keyless vehicle / driver information systems Vehicle networking and control Tire pressure / corner monitor system Light weight engine valves / electromechanical valve actuation
