High-performance lightweight materials such as endless fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) are becoming increasingly important for the development of efficient and economical car bodies. However, systematic engineering and designing with composites and hybrid combinations of FRP and metal materials is extremely challenging. Therefore, new methods must be applied early in the car body design process to avoid incorrect decisions and to support the entire design process.
