Renault Group is a global automotive manufacturer headquartered in France, known for designing and producing innovative vehicles across multiple brands. With a strong focus on sustainable mobility, Renault is investing heavily in electric and hybrid technologies through initiatives like the Ampere division and the Horse Powertrain joint venture. Renault continually optimises its R&D and manufacturing to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving automotive industry.
With rapid innovation and 22 new model launches since 2022, Renault needed to optimise its durability analysis process and deploy standard processing methods across its organisation.
Renault implemented a unified approach to durability testing and simulation by deploying nCode GlyphWorks across key departments including engine, body structure, and chassis.
Standardised workflows, stronger team expertise, and significant time savings - all contributing to a more efficient and collaborative durability development process.
Renault Group is a global automotive manufacturer from France, known for innovative vehicles and a culture of excellence. With 125 years of history, it leads the way in shaping safer, more inclusive, and sustainable mobility for the future.
As Renault accelerated R&D, launching 22 new models since 2022 and forming new divisions such as Ampere and Horse Powertrain, the need to consolidate and optimise engineering tools became a priority. Their previous durability data processing relied on several fragmented software tools. HBK partnered with Renault to deploy nCode GlyphWorks; combined with DesignLife, it enables a unified environment for both test data analysis and CAE-based durability simulation across engine, body structure, and chassis teams.
The transition began with identifying and migrating legacy scripts into robust nCode GlyphWorks workflows. This required close cooperation between Renault and HBK, involving regular monthly technical review meetings and dedicated training sessions. These efforts ensured the successful integration of existing processes into the new tools while enhancing team capabilities in signal processing and data analysis.
The shift to a unified platform has enabled Renault to standardise durability workflows globally, reduce engineering time, and enhance overall process reliability. According to Jean-Michel Lambert, functional durability expert for personal car equipped body at Renault, the initiative has increased the accuracy of analyses, strengthened team expertise, and reinforced collaboration across departments - all key outcomes that support Renault’s mission to lead in vehicle innovation and performance.
By proactively streamlining their durability process, Renault has created a more agile, productive, and aligned engineering function. The implementation of nCode GlyphWorks software supports their ambitious R&D goals, helping to deliver cutting-edge vehicles more efficiently while reinforcing the strong technical foundations of the Renault Group.
As Jean-Michel Lambert summarised, “The migration to nCode GlyphWorks has provided several gains including overall team skills and optimisation of processes. This success was also enabled by a strong support structure: massive training sessions, a GlyphWorks user exchange group, and dedicated HBK technical support for migrating specific scripts. In addition, particular attention was given to developing and delivering standard scripts that met all user requirements, while encapsulating their complexity and protecting them from misuse. These elements were key to making this large-scale migration a success.
