– 'Virtual-based future car parts advancement project' corporate support briefing and seminar held
– Virtual (virtual) environment development vehicle (parts) performance test evaluation technology introduction
– Development of digital performance verification model for vehicle parts, leading innovative shortening of development period for finished vehicles

On the 21st, Gyeongsangnam-do held a company support briefing and technology seminar for the 'Virtual-based Future Car Parts Advancement Project' for local auto parts companies to transform the future car parts industry and foster companies.

At the business briefing organized by Gyeongsangnam-do and Gimhae-si, about 50 people from small and medium-sized enterprises in the automobile industry in the region attended.

In November 2021, industry, academia, research institutes, and governments cooperated with Gyeongnam Province to build an advanced manufacturing innovation ecosystem for future automobiles in Gyeongsangnam-do.

At this event, local auto parts companies can prepare for changes in the future car industry by introducing examples of digital twin technology integration in the future automobile industry, which is currently a hot topic, and the development level of domestic and foreign finished cars and changes in requirements for parts companies. A seminar was held to share information.

The 'Virtual-Based Future Car Parts Advancement' project is ▲Development of digital vehicle parts models and virtual prototypes ▲Advanced virtual simulation environment that can predict the driving performance of auto parts systems ▲Establish a test and evaluation environment that combines real products with virtual vehicles and driving environments By 2024, it will provide equipment infrastructure and virtual development technical support programs. To increase understanding of how the products manufactured by companies perform functions and roles in vehicles, and to develop a virtual prototype based on basic engineering knowledge and practical skills used in the field, a training course for experts will also be conducted to enable virtual performance evaluation. to be.

Gyeongnam Technopark, which is in charge of the project, supports the establishment of a virtual environment test and evaluation center and the development of digital models of vehicle parts, and the participating institution, Korea Testing and Technology Institute, prepares test and evaluation standards for digital models and conducts testing and evaluation of prototypes. Support, Inje University will operate a digital model development professional training program.

Information on how to participate in this project to increase the competitiveness of advanced automobile manufacturing technology companies can be found on the support project page of Gyeongnam Technopark website (https://www.gntp.or.kr/), and It is possible to apply online.

Kim Shin-ho, head of Gyeongsangnam-do’s New Industry Research Division, said, “Recently, the auto industry is focusing on strengthening its technology development capabilities to preoccupy the market during the industrial transition period, such as developing electric and hydrogen vehicles, strengthening safety and convenience functions, and launching purpose-based vehicles (PBV) that meet customer demand. "as,

“To this end, we are promoting the conversion of vehicle development methods in a data-based digital environment that reduces the time and cost for developing finished vehicles. We plan to strengthen it,” he said.
