JSOL Corporation has concluded a business alliance with Photoron Corporation, which develops, manufactures, sells, and imports/exports broadcasting/video-related equipment. By combining JSOL‘s simulation technology using CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) with Photoron’s measurement technology for high-speed phenomena using high-speed cameras and High Speed Volumetric Capture (HSVC), a 3D model generation service, the aim is to achieve simulations that are closer to reality. This will improve accuracy and shorten development times at manufacturing development sites, as well as reduce the associated costs. As the first step in collaboration through the business alliance, the aim is to build a one-stop solution that realizes the highly accurate and efficient development of automotive airbags.
In the manufacturing industry, which faces international competition, shortening development time and reducing development costs can lead to a competitive advantage, and there is a demand for streamlining the development process. In addition, regulations on product safety performance are becoming stronger internationally, and manufacturing sites are now required to ensure safety at the development stage. In fact, Euro NCAP, which evaluates the safety performance of automobiles in Europe, has announced a policy to raise the requirements and level of virtual testing for airbags from 2026, and simulation testing will require even higher accuracy in the future. For this reason, digital methods are also required to be further advanced, and there are high expectations for the advancement of simulation technology in particular.

However, in order to achieve a more accurate simulation, it is necessary to repeatedly go back and correct errors in the simulation, which takes a lot of time. In addition, there are challenges such as the difficulty of comparing the simulation with actual experiments, such as how faithfully the simulation reproduces reality.
