Challenge
Timely product launch
In a highly competitive market, car manufacturers need to introduce cars with superior Noise & Vibration behavior, optimal Ride & Handling and high quality, whilst guaranteeing the product launch date.
Timely product launch
Implications
- For manufacturers it is essential to design products as efficiently and effectively as possible, to guarantee NVH-behavior.
- When introducing new models, traditional NVH-benchmarks may no longer apply.
- This may result in late-stage NVH issues, that incur costly iterative design optimization and unnecessary prototypes.
- Not reaching the planned launch date has severe consequences for brand perception, revenue and competitive position of a manufacturer.
Opportunities
- Being able to predict NVH-behavior in an early stage, by virtually modifying components and systems in a system assembly or full assembly, allows manufacturers to avoid unnecessary prototypes, late-stage design issues and costly iterations to resolve these.
- Car manufacturers can use Hybrid Modular Modelling to easily study virtual modifications of components in a physically existing assembly.
- This enables an effective and efficient design and development process.
How VIBES can help
Virtually optimize components in a measured assembly to avoid testing physical variants
What do we do?
Our proprietary software enables insightful modification of components, by easily replacing these components in a virtual model of the (measured) assembly.
Our value
By enabling virtual modification of components in a measured assembly, we enable quick and easy optimization of the NVH-behavior, Ride & Handling and car quality throughout the vehicle development process. Thus, we facilitate effective and efficient design and development, helping to avoid delayed product launch.
Our experience
We have developed a unique and innovative Hybrid Modular Modelling technique that allows virtually optimization of components in existing physical assemblies. We have demonstrated the strength of our methodology at many manufacturers and suppliers.
Our solutions & software products
To virtually optimize components in a measured assembly to avoid testing physical variants, we would apply: Hybrid Modular Modelling, Source Description and Transfer Path Analysis. These solutions are implemented in DIRAC, COUPLE and SOURCE software with full customer success support.
Timely launch of new models, by avoiding late-stage design issues
What do we do?
We offer advanced methodologies, driven by easy-to-use software, to characterize active vehicle components, build hybrid vehicle models and help analyze design modifications, with the objective of accurately modelling and predicting noise, vibration, ride and handling performance in an early development stage.
Our value
We improve the development cycle and enable a timely launch of new vehicle models, by helping car manufacturers avoid late-stage design issues.
Our experience
We have 10 years of experience in helping the world largest car manufacturers accurately build hybrid models of systems and full vehicles, enabling quick and effective prediction of the noise, vibration, ride and handling behavior throughout the development process to mitigate late-stage issues.
Mitigate endless A/B comparison testing and development delays
What do we do?
Our proprietary software enables time-saving NVH-modelling and analysis. Our highly qualified NVH-engineers help manufactures optimally use our solutions, train and advise NVH-staff and bridge the NVH-resources gap.
Our value
Applying our solutions and services mitigate endless A/B comparison testing and development delays, making time and resources available.
Our experience
Since 2016, we have enabled highly efficient noise and vibration reduction for many manufacturers, by simplifying NVH analysis and reducing R&D time and costs. We have also provided highly qualified resources, to help manufactures meet their NVH-resource demands.
Optimize product development processes, using Hybrid Modular Engineering
What do we do?
Our HME-approach enables smart modeling, testing, measuring and analysis, optimizing product development in many areas: minimizing engineer effort, improving collaboration between departments and increasing effectiveness and accuracy of design and development.
Our value
Applying our HME-approach helps manufacturers improve their product design and development processes in many ways, such as by optimizing multi-attribute product behavior, minimizing late-stage NVH-issues, increasing team productivity, improving collaboration between departments and with suppliers, and reducing product and development costs.
Our experience
Since 2016, we have been developing our innovative Hybrid Modular Engineering approach, as well as best-in-class software, to enable manufacturers to optimize their product development processes, focusing on reducing noise and vibration. Many large OEMs have since adopted our HME-approach and software.
