In a rapidly evolving automotive sector, virtual prototyping for vehicle structures is an essential part of the development process of innovative vehicle designs.
This course empowers students with the advanced skills and tools needed to reshape vehicle design, focusing on advanced simulation, passive safety and material characterisation. For CAE engineers and their teams, this knowledge is crucial for optimising design processes, minimising the need for physical prototypes, and delivering reliable, data-driven solutions that accelerate development and improve vehicle performance from road vehicles to racing cars.
The MSc in Virtual Prototyping for Vehicle Structures has been developed to provide the Automotive and Motorsport industry with high calibre stress analysts that are equipped with the necessary skills to meet the demands of the structures and CAE department.
Through hands-on experience with advanced simulation tools and industry-leading techniques, students will be inspired to push the boundaries of innovation to contribute to the development of smarter, safer and more efficient vehicles.
The balance between lab experience at the Cranfield Impact Centre and exposure to advanced simulation techniques will provide a comprehensive understanding of both theoretical and practical aspects to analyse prototypes in a virtual environment and refine their concepts through testing.
