Taking NVH Methodology to the next level with

VIBES.academy

18-19 Nov, 2026 | Delft, The Netherlands

VIBES.academy: Where Testing and CAE speak the same language

The VIBES.academy is a two-day on-site program in Delft, The Netherlands. It covers the full Hybrid Modular NVH Engineering approach, from component characterization to exploring product improvements on full-vehicle level.  

The two-day program combines theoretical sessions, application cases and hands-on workshops in small groups. It is designed for NVH engineers, NVH CAE engineers, subject matter experts, technical leaders, and managers from automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers who want to deepen their understanding of the methodology and their practical skills with the software. 

Why attend?

  • Apply Hybrid Modular Engineering in your own programs: combine test-based, CAE and parameterized component models to predict full-system NVH before the first prototype exists.
  • Master source characterization end to end: how to produce, validate and trust the blocked force data you provide or receive, with X-DoF and onboard validation per ISO 20270.
  • See how hybrid modeling using the SEMM method extends CAE accuracy into the kHz range using test-data for source characterization and dynamic substructuring.
  • Get hands-on with VIBES software (DIRAC, SOURCE, COUPLE): fully equip yourself with practical knowledge to succeed in your own programs.
  • Opportunity to connect with VIBES and industry experts throughout the two-day event and networking dinner.

Who should attend?

NVH & CAE Engineers

Technical leaders

NVH Managers

Why this matters: Bring test and CAE data in NVH closer together. 

Why this matters: Define the methodology standard for the team and the next program.

Why this matters: Prototype reduction targets, supplier handover, and methodology rollout across vehicle programs.

Program

The latest releases of VIBES products bring three highlights to this edition of the Academy:

  • Hybrid Modular Engineering: combine test-based, CAE and parametrized component models to predict full-systems NVH, before the first prototype exists.
  • Source Characterization: latest updates on X-DoF inverse algorithm and what they mean for force estimation accuracy and stability, replacing manual matrix regularization with an automatic, source-coherent inverse.
  • Hybrid modeling: how System Equivalent Model Mixing (SEMM) bridges test and CAE, makes source characterization and dynamic substructuring more accurate and efficient.
