Presenting the 2015 keynote speakers
Mr. Toru Matsui, Head of digital vehicle development and CAE methodology
development for ride comfort, vehicle dynamics and NVH for Nissan, will share his
vision on Secure vehicle performance development by adopting full coverage Model
Based Design process. As of 2010, he is pilot of the CAE methodology strategy
alliance between Renault and Nissan. Mr. Matsui joined Nissan in 1985 in the Chassis
Experiment Department and NVH Vehicle Experiment Group, working on NVH design
and development for front engine/rear drive vehicles. In 2001, he moved to the
Vehicle Test and Systems Engineering Department in the Vehicle NVH Engineering
Group, responsible for the development of an innovative methodology to improve
NVH prediction and performance. Since 2004, Mr. Matsui became manager of the
Advanced Vehicle Development and Dynamic Performance group, responsible for
advanced technology development for NVH, vehicle dynamics and ride comfort.
Mr. Al Peasland, Head of Technical Partnerships for Infiniti Red Bull Racing at their
Formula One operation in Milton Keynes, UK will share his view on the use of Siemens
PLM at Infiniti Red Bull Racing and how High Performance PLM Solutions is Delivering
Success on Track. Mr. Peasland has been with Infiniti Red Bull Racing over 7 years,
initially joining the team as their Head of CAD/PLM. A Chartered Engineer, Mr. Peasland
has an extensive engineering background, having started out as an aerospace design
engineer, then moving into automotive transmission design. He has over 20 years’
experience with 3D CAD and CAM tools and their respective data management
systems. A short stint as a CAD consultant and trainer saw Mr. Peasland transition
from a design engineer to a PLM administrator and manager, which has ultimately
enabled him to take on the challenging world of Formula One technical management.
Dipl.-Ing. Bruno Seufert, Senior manager for chassis durability and vehicle load
data, experimental and numerical methods, and chassis workshop organization for
Daimler AG will share his vision on durability assessment in vehicle development,
what are the challenges and next steps. He will highlight the current challenges
and give his vision on the next steps. In addition to his current position, he
coordinates chassis development for compact cars. He started his career at Daimler
in 1986 as a body-in-white (BIW) development engineer for passenger cars. In this
role, Dipl.-Ing. Seufert implemented new methods for body durability testing at
Daimler. Along with this implementation, a body-related road load database was
established and transferred to the application of actual road loads in laboratory
tests. He also investigated materials for body design and joining techniques.
He was later promoted to team leader for BIW durability testing. In 1995, Dipl.Ing. Seufert was appointed team leader for chassis durability, to investigate the
durability of new suspension systems and new chassis material technologies.
He became head of the chassis durability department in 1998, taking up extra
responsibilities including load collective measurement and analysis for full-vehicle
development, and numerical methods in load collectives and durability prediction.
Dr. Jan Leuridan, Chief Executive Officer
Siemens Industry Software NV, and Dirk
Van den Berghen, Chief Operations Officer
will also share their visions on how to
address tomorrow’s complex engineering
issues associated with intelligent systems
design. To help facilitate mission-critical
innovation and bring better products
faster to market, both manufacturers and
suppliers are challenged to fundamentally
rethink their overall product development.
By aligning test-based engineering, multidomain system simulation and detailed
3D analysis, LMS solutions help realize
vehicle development innovation through
closed-loop systems engineering.
