Take your tire engineering skills to the next level
Whether you are developing cutting-edge electric vehicles, working as a supplier to OEMs, optimizing motorsport performance or leading innovation in vehicle dynamics, understanding tire behavior through advanced modeling is no longer optional – it is essential. This three-day, expert-led course gives you the tools, techniques and insider knowledge to master tire simulation and bring real-world results to your projects.
Why this course?
- Learn from the best: Industry-leading experts from Zoox, Jaguar Land Rover, Siemens, Cosin, Calspan, Fraunhofer, University of Naples, Loughborough University and JEDAi;
- Comprehensive and practical: Covers everything from tire testing fundamentals to high-end FE models, real-time simulation and terramechanics;
- Direct application: Concepts and tools you can immediately integrate into your development workflow.
What you will master:
- Tire force and moment fundamentals – the building blocks of vehicle dynamics;
- Physical and empirical tire models, including the legendary Magic Formula and cutting-edge thermal/friction modeling;
- Finite element modeling for structural and performance simulations;
- CD-Tire, MF-Tire and FTire –— how to choose, parameterize and deploy them effectively;
- Driving simulators for virtual tire development and digital twin integration;
- Terramechanics for off-road and specialty applications.
Course flow:
Day 1: Tire testing, data acquisition and the physics behind tire-road interaction. Learn the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of physical modeling.
Day 2: Deep dive into FE modeling, multiphysics integration and case studies from OEMs including Jaguar Land Rover.
Day 3: Explore real-time simulation, advanced thermal/wear models, off-road applications and next-gen simulation tools.
