Automotive

With new models of cars and SUV's being doled out by manufactures on a daily basis, their engineering leads times have been reduced beyond imagination. In addition to this, increased warranty and liability issues, fuel conservation and environmental regulations have cropped up. Costs related to these need to be accommodated in old constrained budgets. The budget slice for physical testing has been drastically reduced, and in some cases physical testing is just not an option. Lead times for automotive majors have been reduced from 50+ months in the 1990's to 15 months with the adoption of CAE. Physical testing which used to involve large investments and 4-6 months has been replaced by CAE simulation which can accomplish the same task in 1-2 months with much smaller investments. Cranes has been helping the automotive industry for the last two decades in analyzing many complex problems.
