Using Simulation Software to Predict Automotive NVH One of the most pressing challenges for today’s automotive manufacturers is to make lighter cars. A lighter car will maintain a lower level of gas consumption and thus is more eco-friendly. To achieve this goal, many companies switched from aluminum to composite materials and put smaller engines …
The aerodynamic sources acting on a car side window, generally defined as the small wavelength sources such as turbulent eddies and boundary layer structures, are generally much larger in amplitude than the acoustic sources, those with longer wavelengths. So naturally you would expect that the aerodynamic sources have a much greater contribution on vehicle interior …
When designing an audio device, the most important thing for an engineer to consider is the quality of the sound. Quality is what makes the device valuable and differentiates it from competitors. Audio device manufacturing companies experience extremely high product development costs due to repetitive and expensive physical testing. In addition to the need …
A universal problem when optimizing noise and vibration is that it often conflicts with durability or cost. Multi-body dynamics helps balance these competing requirements early in the design process by addressing key vibration issues facing engineers, such as “will excitations in one part of the systems interaction with another part of the system?” MBD makes …
Plastic Omnium Simulates Acoustics of Car Body Modules SANTA ANA, CA–(Business Wire – January 15th, 2013) – Free Field Technologies (FFT), an MSC Software company, today announced that Plastic Omnium has deployed the Actran/Acoustics and Vibro-Acoustics software, to simulate the acoustic attenuation of plastic panels and other components used in automobiles around the world. Plastic …
