| Accelerating the Design of Embedded Control Systems for Vehicle Applications |
| Tomorrow's cars must be greener, safer, just as fast or even faster, and cheaper than today's cars. The consequent demands that these seemingly conflicting requirements put on the modern control system are enormous, and plant models now require a level of fidelity that would literally suck months from an engineering team. In many cases, resulting models may not have the speed necessary to support HIL simulations. This interactive webcast focuses on accelerating these tasks through the emerging generation of engineering modeling tools. Deploying advanced techniques such as physical modeling, symbolic computation, optimized code generation, and loss-less model simplification, engineering teams are beginning to see time savings of an order of magnitude in both the plant model development process and real-time execution.

| Tomorrow's Vehicles Need Material Solutions Today for Lower Mass, Friction, Safer Electronics |
| Materials play an important role in designing components and systems that help automakers reduce carbon dioxide emissions, improve fuel economy, and meet both regulatory and consumer demands. The challenge is finding the right material for new applications and bringing products to market quickly and cost-effectively. SAE hosts a global panel of DuPont Automotive application development experts to examine new ideas and materials that take mass out of vehicles, optimize the internal combustion engine, enable cost-effective hybrid electric systems, and reduce friction in engines and drivelines. This webcast will be 90 minutes and features a 30-minute Q&A segment. Sponsor: DuPont |

| Enabling DCT Growth Around the World Through Innovation, Design, and Collaboration |
| This interactive webcast will present three unique perspectives on dual clutch transmissions - one from an OEM, one from a Tier 1 supplier, and one from a lubricant additive supplier. Dr. Ingo Steinberg, Getrag Ford Transmissions, will discuss the main components of dual clutch transmissions, the benefits of this technology, and future applications. Andy Yu, BorgWarner Drivetrain Systems Group, will summarize the advantages of dual clutch transmissions vs. alternatives and talk about the design options available to the transmission designer and vehicle OEM. Dave Morl, Lubrizol Driveline Additives Group, will review how additive companies enable the design of future transmissions through a collaborative design process with OEMs, Tier suppliers, and their oil company customers.

| What Are the Next Key Steps in Engineering Modeling and Simulation? |
| The task of effective modeling, simulation, or control has become complex and in many cases unwieldy. Whether it is multi-domain modeling, or high-performance real-time simulation for control applications, systems have become more sophisticated and requirements more stringent. Consequently, many engineers are evaluating the way they have been doing things and exploring possibilities for alternate approaches. This webinar presents two complementary perspectives on this critical issue: the application perspective and the computational perspective. It will also explore the nature of modern modeling challenges and their solutions as well as a roadmap for the near future of engineering modeling tools. Sponsor: Maplesoft |

| Decoding EPA Part 1065: Engine Testing Procedures |
| The EPA part 1065 regulation revises the procedures for testing most categories of non-road engines as well as heavy-duty highway engines. The regulation includes a number of new tests and test conditions that must be implemented. This webcast offers insight into how the 1065 regulation will affect your engine testing regimen and, therefore, your compliance to it. You will learn about equivalency formulae and how many of your current tests may be appropriate for part 1065. It will also address the timetable for implementation.

| Physical Modeling: Next-Generation Modeling and Simulation |
| Physical modeling refers to modeling techniques that better represent the physics and mathematics of a system. The concept is simple: develop virtual models of things before committing them to metal or plastic. This way, if there are any conceptual flaws, they reveal themselves in a virtual environment where they are much easier to fix. In this presentation, a discussion of the future of modeling and simulation will take place delving into how as the complexity of the design tasks increase each year, new techniques are necessary for capturing the complex details of next generation systems. Real world application examples will be presented by Toyota and MotionPro.

| Where Are Tomorrow's Vehicles Headed? New Cost and Weight Savings via Metal-to-Plastic Replacement |
|
Auto manufacturers are under pressure to increase fuel efficiency, reduce cost and save weight. Metals raw material costs have risen significantly in the past 3 - 4 years. The use of plastics in place of metals in powertrain, under hood, electronics, cockpit interior, exterior trim and structural components is helping many manufacturers maintain margins as costs and competition increase. These manufacturers are finding that the switch also improves products, gets them to market faster, reduces total finished assembly costs and often combines production of many parts into one economical step. This webcast will offer different perspectives on the move from metal to plastic, representing some views of automotive OEMs, automotive suppliers and industry analysts.
