In the context of NVH vehicle development, a common source of costly design change is where issues are discovered late in a program during vehicle testing or even post launch. Often this occurs where the simulation has met the targets including vehicle level analysis. By considering a population of results rather than the nominal CAE result, a process is demonstrated to develop a more reliable design that will deliver high levels of customer satisfaction and lower levels of late change and warranty costs. In this presentation we will introduce how this can be achieved through the use of MSA and RBDO methods within the framework of Altair’s NVH Director environment.

Two and Three Wheeler companies be it existing OEMs, new EV start-ups or others serving this segment want to shorten the product development time and get to market faster. Designing a new two/three wheeled vehicle addressing refined customer expectations requires performance to be at par with established norms when it comes to vehicle ride, handling, and durability. To address this need Altair developed a New Unified solution for simulating two and three wheeled vehicles as a part of the HyperWorks 2020 release. The solution is aimed at companies designing and manufacturing two and three wheeled vehicles with IC or Electric engines. The solution is beneficial to both, leaning and non-leaning vehicles and helps engineers predict vehicle dynamics & control, durability and ride and comfort of two and three wheeled vehicles.

ESL Development Based on Simulation - Application example The body stiffness has a major impact on the Squeak & Rattle performance of a car. Since the body structure of electrical/autonomous cars will differ clearly from traditional bodies, an enhanced requirement is needed to limit the distortion in the closure openings. This webinar presents a new approach of defining a requirement based on closure deformations using an equivalent static load (ESL), which considers both the reduction from a complete vehicle to a BIG and from a dynamic load to a static load. In addition, an example is shown how ESL can be used as input for body optimization. Presenter: Viktor Jonsson | CAE Engineer (Consultant), CEVT
