Renault Mégane III scored 5 stars at EuroNCAP with the help of Virtual Performance Solution


Simulation is key to our project development process. PAM-CRASH allows us to identify not only the behavior of standard vehicle definition but also the probability to improve our crash performance and to build virtually every element that has an impact on our decision-making.
Challenge
- Launch a vehicle with same comfort and safety standards but with a reduced production cost and a lighter Body-in-White
- Reduce CO2 emissions
- Use fewer physical prototypes than for Mégane II in order to meet financial and planning objectives

Renault Mégane III scored 5 stars at EuroNCAP with the help of Virtual Performance Solution
Benefits
- Save costs and time in the development process by decreasing the number of real prototypes needed for physical tests
- Get highly accurate results especially for strength, scattering and distortion effect
- Reduce overall CO2 emissions while keeping the same standard of vehicle robustness
- Simulate the entire car with Finite Elements (FE) modeling
