CONFERENCE - Doors and Closures in Car Body Engineering 2009

English/German Simultaneous Translation

25 - 26 November 2009
Bad Nauheim/Germany

Doors and Closures in Car Body Engineering 2009

Special Requirements

In car body engineering, doors and closures often take on a special position: On the one hand, they have to fit smoothly into the design, construction and production concept of the complete vehicle, and on the other hand they are very significant in determining a number of vehicle properties that are of high relevance for the perceived customer comfort, for the driving characteristics and for safety aspects. From special CAE technologies to specific construction principles, material concepts and testing methods, doors and closures continuously provide very unique challenges to development and production engineers.

This is why the Automotive Circle International conference on "Doors and Closures in Car Body Engineering" is specifically dedicated to presenting the most recent engineering solutions related to such parts. The conference again gathers the globally leading network of automotive hang-on-part engineering experts in Bad Nauheim to discuss newest door and closure developments, featuring both OEM presentations of new body-in-white parts and the presentation of trailblazing developments by important system suppliers and research institutions, defining the benchmark of these developments in intensive discussions.

Particular focus topics of the conference in 2009

Novel hang-on parts in series production
Leading OEM present technical developments concerning body-in-white doors and closures from most recent series vehicles
Innovative material concepts
Innovative steel, light metal and plastics solutions competing for both technically and economically viable weight reduction in hang-on parts
Forming and joining techniques
Meeting the challenges posed by design specifications, lightweight material mix concepts and novel materials
Function integration
Doors and closures in the area of conflict between lightweight design and multifunctionality

Interactive Focus Workshops
As an interactive benefit, the conference includes two intensive 90-minute focus workshops, dedicated to specific current issues in the development of automotive hang-on parts. Choose the workshop that suits your individual interests best and bring up your aspects for discussion. Positive side effect: The focus workshops will effectively bring you together with other peers who share these interests, maximising your networking possibilities.

Focus-Workshop A:
Aluminium-based hang-on parts in large volume production - What is possible, technically and economically?

Focus-Workshop B:
Lightweight design and increasing functionalisation - a contradiction?

Both workshops will be moderated by renowned OEM experts.

The conference addresses:
Automotive engineers responsibly involved in the pre-development, development or production of car body hang-on parts, i.e. doors and closures, from European OEM and beyond, as well as from their system suppliers and engineering service providers.
