Structural Strength Committee

1.Aim of activity

The purpose of the activities is to promote research into CAE technology for vehicle body structures and parts, and in the field of collision safety.
We are investigating, discussing and researching the CAE technologies required for the optimization and robust design of vehicle body structures, as well as the development of multi-material vehicle body structures.
The affiliated working group conducts highly specialized research and plans and promotes the return of the results to members.
