Improvements to the art of noise (and vibration)
LMS International has upgraded its Test.Lab integrated software suite for noise and vibration testing and engineering.
LMS will also team up with Chrysler Group engineers to evaluate the automaker's current processes, remove bottlenecks, increase value-added engineering time and improve the overall quality of designs.
The resulting software system will also integrate the computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE), and physical testing environments together for faster response rates to design changes and improved CAE productivity.
According to Dr Jack Thompson, Director of CAE and Concept Development at the Chrysler Group, "Timely functional performance engineering for attributes like noise, vibration, durability and crash performance is one of the challenges we are tackling in our vehicle development process.

TEDS compliant data acquisition systems
Transducers from PCB Piezotronics equipped with TEDS (transducer electronic data sheets) can now be fully integrated with test solutions from LMS International.
With the help of LMS Virtual.Lab, which is specifically built for cross-disciplinary attribute engineering, we are able to better leverage our proven analytical tools to enhance the virtual design process".
In addition, LMS Virtual.Lab will enable the Chrysler Group to speed up the virtual design process, improve the accuracy and quality of virtual prototype simulations and standardize the types of software being used for NVH, durability and impact simulations.
The evolutionary rollout of LMS Virtual.Lab at the Chrysler Group will be a multi-year process, ultimately reaching across all of the company's vehicle platforms and component teams.
"We are very excited about this strategic implementation of LMS Virtual.Lab", Chairman and CEO Urbain Vandeurzen stated.
"The Chrysler Group decision is another confirmation of our vision and strategy to combine the strengths of both physical and virtual prototyping to meet the growing demands made on the engineering community to optimise mission critical product attributes and brand values.
Our commitment to radical product and process innovation and the superior integration that comes with LMS Virtual.Lab were important factors for LMS to be selected by the Chrysler Group as a strategic CAE partner". Request free introductory details about products from LMS International ...
