Feedback from this year's LMS European Vehicle Conference in Munich
5/3/2012
With a total of 34 international speakers and 290 international experts attending, the annual LMS Vehicle Conference is considered to be one of today's leading focused network events in the vehicle engineering community.
The 2012 Conference focused on the frontloading of vehicle systems engineering as a way to deliver superior brand performance.
Scope
290 international experts from the car manufacturing industry gathered on 18-19 April in the Munich Kempinski Airport hotel in order to stay on top of ever evolving engineering technologies. Attendees included representatives from 115 companies, representing a wide range of international car makers, OEM's and suppliers.
The conference theme
"The next few years will be marked by a new paradigm shift: model-based systems engineering", said Dr. ir. Urbain Vandeurzen, LMS Chairman and CEO in his opening address to the conference community, explaining this year's conference theme. "LMS has pioneered hybrid engineering, combining the best of physical simulation with virtual simulation. This has advanced simulation to support multi-attribute engineering from concept to final hardware. Today we also pioneer in MBSE, making it possible to optimize mechanics, electronics and software simultaneously as an integrated mechatronics system. Combined, hybrid engineering and model-based systems engineering enables the full frontloading of functional performance engineering. This offers the possibility to translate mechatronics systems' complexity into unique brand value for the customer."
Keynotes
This year's Vehicle Conference also welcomed three keynote speakers standing on the front line of change in the automotive industry.
Dr. Guglielmo Caviasso, Head of Vehicle Integration and Validation, R&D, Fiat Group Automobiles presented his ideas about design management and his vision on performance management in the very competitive small car market, driven by complexity and speed of change.
Dr. Christof M. Weber, Senior manager Durability and Bench testing at Daimler Trucks offered an insight into the peculiar durability engineering challenge of adapting vehicles to the different market en customer needs in the global truck market. Dr. Weber also presented the Daimler answer to this challenge: the customer oriented Application Specific Testing approach.
Mr. Ryusaku Sawada, Project General Manager, Engine Planning Department at the Toyota Motor Corporation talked about need for integrated models at the planning stage to answer the challenge of optimizing total vehicle performance.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner."

"Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
