Challenge
Supplier integration & global development
Product development is often split across multiple suppliers and geographies. Tools must now support collaborative platforms, standardized data formats and NVH-simulations involving supplier components.
Supplier integration & global development
Implications
- Active components in product assemblies are often supplier-manufactured.
- OEMs need to include these components into the Noise and Vibration modelling and analysis of their products.
- OEMs require accurate definition of the physical quantities of supplier-manufactured components.
Opportunities
- Blocked forces are an unambiguous physical quantity of active components that can be (re)used for NVH-modelling and analysis.
- OEM’s can characterize active components with blocked forces themselves or agree with their suppliers that they provide them.
- OEMs and suppliers can create databases with components and their blocked forces, to facilitate modular NVH-analysis.
How VIBES can help
Obtain and reuse unambiguous dynamic loads, from complex components, in hybrid simulations
What do we do?
Our SOURCE software enables accurate characterization of active components through their blocked forces. Our COUPLE software enables including these blocked forces in assembled NVH-models.
Our value
We help manufacturers and suppliers unambiguously characterize active components, through our software and engineering services. As such, we enable efficient & highly accurate (system or full-vehicle) modelling and analysis.
Our experience
We have 20 years of expertise in accurately identifying blocked forces of active components and including these in C-TPA / Hybrid Modular Modelling. We have proven our capabilities at many OEMs and suppliers.
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.
