Automotive Simulation: Fisker reduces number of prototypes, cuts time to market with Virtual Performance Solution

摘要

The Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid, which launched in late 2011 in the U.S., utilizes a subframe with a cage that supports the fuel tank and traction motors. This unique design increases the challenge of ensuring the integrity of the fuel tank in a rear-end crash as required for Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 301 certification.
