As the automotive industry transitions to software-defined vehicles (SDVs), the complexity of integrating silicon, electronics, software, and vehicle systems is rapidly increasing. Automakers are challenged to deliver advanced platform architectures that can keep pace with accelerating innovation, tighter timelines, and rising integration demands, challenges that traditional development methods can no longer effectively address.

In this 60-minute webinar, attendees will discover how a complete, end-to-end engineering solution empowers automakers at every stage of SDV development — from ensuring adherence to safety standards and procedures, through design of EMC-compliant electronics and electrical architecture, into selecting and validating the optimal silicon platform, and to advanced virtualization for software development, verification, and validation. The session will look at how next-generation SDV solutions enable seamless co-design and integration from vehicle attributes and chassis to powertrain and embedded software.

Key highlights include:

  • Bridging system models with engineering analysis and optimizing system performance and reliability
  • Creating high-performance, EMC-compliant electronic designs, silicon development, and testing
  • Leveraging digital models of vehicle components and system-level hardware for validation of software and system behavior
  • A collaborative engineering platform for software development and testing
  • Achieving continuous/iterative…
