Researchers in the competence group for design work closely together with the teams for simulation and testing to find technical solutions for challenges arising in the various competence areas of the Project Group. Here CATIA V5 is used together with a PDM system and an extensive material database. To guarantee optimal collaboration with our industrial partners, an MML design methodology is used, which generates a clear and uniform component structure. This facilitates the exchange of information within the team and with project partners.
