Why Impact Assessment Needs to Scale
Impact performance depends on multiple interacting variables — impact angle, energy, ground condition, and unavoidable real-world uncertainties.
Yet traditional FEM-based approaches allow engineers to evaluate only a limited number of scenarios due to time and computational cost.
As a result, critical risks may only be identified late in the design cycle – or not at all.
Scaling Impact Assessment with TE Connectivity
In collaboration with TE Connectivity, this webinar presents an initial exploration of how impact studies can move beyond isolated drop-test simulations toward continuous, risk-aware assessment.
The current work is based on a simplified demonstrator developed to illustrate the methodology. Starting from a finite number of high-fidelity FEM simulations, ODYSSEE is used to:
| Extend simulation results across the full design space | Identify critical impact scenarios early | Quantify probability of failure under real-world variability |
From Hours of Computation to Seconds of Prediction with ODYSSEE
ODYSSEE enables scalable machine-learning workflows that extend the value of high-fidelity FEM simulations. Through automated model training and large-scale scenario evolution, engineers can transform hours of computation into seconds of prediction, supporting faster and more confident decisions early in development.
