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.
As a vehicle intended for markets in Japan, Europe and the USA, a variety of local driving conditions will have an impact on the design and performance attributes.
"Mitsubishi chose LMS because of its proven vehicle development competence and the combination of its best-in-class test and CAE technologies for performance engineering.
MMC would like to develop the new platform with LMS", said MMC Project Manager, Shozo Kurita.
"The goal of the project is to improve the overall performance quality of the platform and to support all of its variants by strategic partnering with LMS".
The LMS mandate includes doing design evaluations for the variants, ensuring that the multiple upper body variants will perform according to target with respect to NVH and durability work on the single platform.
The LMS responsibility starts by guiding the target setting process and will continue through to the final prototype validation.
The Mitsubishi project calls for intense use of virtual prototyping techniques, where test and simulation data are combined to predict the structural behavior of the vehicle, and its functional performance.
Dirk De Vis, Vice President LMS Engineering Services says, "LMS has the requisite experience as well as the test and virtual prototyping technologies that MMC will use to reconcile the test model and loads with the virtual models used by each team.
LMS will co-develop the new platform with MMC to reliably predict functional performance at both the component and system levels - early enough to positively impact the design throughout the project". Request free introductory details about products from LMS International ...
