Human Modeling Symposium 2026
Digital human body models and crash simulation in automotive occupant safety, Aschaffenburg
About this event
The Human Modeling Symposium is the 12th International Symposium on Human Modeling and Simulation in Automotive Engineering, organised by carhs.training with Wayne State University College of Engineering as cooperation partner. Researchers, software developers and industrial users of digital human body models meet in Aschaffenburg, with an online attendance option. Sessions cover biomechanics, passive, active and hybrid body models, pre- and postprocessing, crash simulation and virtual testing. The 2026 focus is occupant protection in autonomous vehicles with flexible seating.
Who it's for
For CAE engineers and researchers who build and apply human body models in vehicle safety. Recent programmes paired carmakers such as Volvo Cars and Volkswagen with simulation vendors, crash safety consultancies and universities, covering injury prediction, occupant posture and model validation.
