Virtual Testing

One of the most costly and time-consuming stages in product development is the product evaluation testing phase. Automotive manufacturers and component suppliers usually rely on engineering computation software to reduce the number of physical test repetitions.

ITOM Company also assists its customers in reducing the costs of safety and crash tests using computer aided engineering method. Our team continues the design, development, and optimization process with engineering computations by creating an accurate model of the desired product verified with the results of initial tests.

For automakers, one of the most expensive tests is the periodic COP pedestrian tests, which must conduct annually on their products according to the related regulation  (UN R127). Regarding to the regulation, in order to evaluate the vehicle’s performance in protecting pedestrians in an accidents, the vehicle must undergo a significant number of head and leg impacts.

ITOM’s engineering team helps automotive manufacturers by moving from annual test repetition to virtual testing methods, which are a combination of initial test results, and engineering computation according to the regulation.
