Hybrid Modular Modelling
Hybrid Modular Modelling is a method that combines experimental and numerical data to analyze complex structures by breaking them down into smaller, manageable substructures. Using this, the most accurate assembly model can be obtained in any stage of product development.
Featured workflows:
- Frequency-based Substructuring
- Live sound synthesis
- Component design & optimization
Transfer Path Analysis
Transfer Path Analysis (TPA) methods are various techniques to identify and evaluate the contribution of vibration sources in an assembly. Vibrations and noise levels can be predicted to further understand areas of improvement of the product.
Featured workflows:
- Complex TPA
- Complex Power
Source Descriptions
Source description or source characterization is the process of characterizing the forces generated by an active vibration source. A very valuable option is to characterize these forces independent of the supporting structure; those forces we call the Blocked Forces of the vibration source. These forces can among others be used for predicting noise and vibration of the source in different assemblies, for target setting and for Transfer Path Analysis.
Featured workflows:
- Blocked Force Source Characterization
- Acoustic Source Characterization
- Target Cascading
Test-based Modelling
Test-based modelling is an approach where noise and vibration behavior of passive components is represented using models derived from measured data rather than from geometry-based simulations. These models can be combined with numerical models to simulate different assembly or mounting conditions without retesting the full system.
Featured workflows:
- Virtual Point FRF Modelling
- Advanced NTF Measurement
- Mount Stiffness Identification
- Mass, Cog and Inertia (MCI) identification
- Hybrid Modular Modelling of FRFs
Modal Analysis
Modal Analysis is a method to determine the dynamic behavior of a structure. In case of Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA), the structure is excited with a known force, such as an impact hammer or shaker, and the vibration response is measured. From the measured frequency response functions, natural frequencies, mode shapes, and damping are identified.
Featured workflows:
- Experimental Modal Analysis
- Model Validation
