Seats
Automotive Seat Design & Structural FEA
At Automotive Design, we engineer complete seating systems that combine comfort, safety, and durability — supported by advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Our structural simulations ensure every seat design performs flawlessly under real-world conditions, from daily use to extreme crash loads.
Safety Through Standards
Our engineers have worked extensively on automotive seating programs, validating designs against multiple FMVSS/ECE standards as well as other OEM specific requirements to guarantee occupant protection, strength, durability, comfort and compliance:
-
FMVSS 202a/ECE R17 – Head restraints & Head Impact (whiplash protection)
-
FMVSS 207/ECE R17 – Seat strength & anchorage integrity
-
FMVSS 208/ECE R94 – Crash protection with restraints
-
FMVSS 210/ECE R14 – Seat belt anchorage strength
-
FMVSS 225/ECE R14 – Child seat anchorage systems (ISOFIX/LATCH).
-
OEM Specific Requirements – NVH (ride/comfort), fatigue/durability, Cargo Retention loads, functional loads (efforts) for mechanisms like recliners, tracks, latches etc.
