文摘

Hybrid lightweight parts aim at improving the economical and ecological performance of automobiles by reducing weight and, consequently, CO₂ emissions. The environmental advantageousness requires careful attention during the car's design phase to prevent problem shifting from use phase into production. Due to the degree of novelty of hybrid components, reliable data about energy and resource demands in production is not yet available. This work presents a multi-level simulation framework for coupling models from different disciplines in order to derive LCA-relevant data. Exemplarily, a discrete-event process chain simulation is connected with a physical process model for a forming process.
