Capital Essentials – next generation electrical design

Capital Essentials is a suite of wiring & harness design tools to satisfy the demanding requirements of Formula Student teams where ease-of-use is as important as functionality. Connect with NX or other CAD solutions and easily create reports. Capital Essentials is bundled with analysis capabilities. Analysis helps designers check and validate their designs as they are created. This eliminates errors earlier in the design process. Voltages & currents can be shown, highlighting problems like short circuits and validating wire and fuse sizing.

Digital Twin for Autonomous Driving: Guidelines&Experiments

The presentation covers Siemens Simcenter technologies for autonomous driving, integrating AI, simulation and testing for safe, efficient verification of autonomous features. From sensor data, we create high-fidelity models (Real2Sim) for sensors, vehicle dynamics and traffic. These models support scenario-based testing and algorithm development for perception, planning and control. We'll discuss transitioning from simulation to hardware (Sim2Real) and auto-calibration with AI, including model predictive control, AI driver control and Generative AI.

Cocktails 4 BOM

Every Cocktail or Racecar needs a product structure or Bill of Material (BOM). Always we discuss this structure but why do we have different Type of BOMs. BOMs can be used for engineering, manufacturing, purchase and cost. This will be explained in this presentation. At the end we give some tips how you can customize NX to get a BOM structure direct out of the system.
