Cooper Tire & Rubber Company (Findlay, OH) wanted its new CS4 tire line to offer two all-season tread options in sizes that would fit many of today’s most popular sedans, minivans, and crossover vehicles. But the company didn’t want to wait the traditional 18 to 24 months typically needed for product development.
By incorporating computer-aided engineering (CAE) early in the design process and providing simulation tools to its non-experts, Cooper Tire cut its time to market by almost 50 percent. This reduction was the result of a novel “analyst in the loop” design process, says Keith Sansalone, advanced research engineer in Cooper’s Research & Technology Group.
