Solving Automotive Noise and Vibration Challenges with Simulation

Controlling noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is crucial to meeting customer expectations in the automotive market. NVH has historically been investigated in the later stages of development, after physical prototypes have been constructed, and rework to fix NVH issues can be expensive and increase vehicle weight. In this blog post, we show how unified modeling and simulation (MODSIM) can reveal noise and vibration issues at any stage of development, allowing engineers to find and resolve problems before committing to a design, and to find the root causes of noise and vibration. MODSIM accelerates product development and reduces the risk of late-stage NVH problems.
