PSA Peugeot Citroen keeps quiet about
Virtual.Lab
PSA Peugeot Citroen has selected LMS Virtual.Lab to support its full-vehicle NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) engineering.
PSA Peugeot Citroen has selected LMS Virtual.Lab to support its full-vehicle NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) engineering LMS Virtual.Lab is as an integrated process solution capable of accurately simulating the NVH performance on full-vehicle level, from the early development stages onwards
LMS Virtual.Lab Noise and Vibration allows engineers to combine test models of components and subsystems with virtual models of the new vehicle design, and so significantly accelerate the vehicle development process.
Over the years, the second largest carmaker in Europe built up a strong experience in virtual prototyping and consistently invested in developing vehicle-development tools around generic CAE technologies.
PSA Peugeot Citroen engineers have made great advances in virtual simulation, with a clear focus on key vehicle performance attributes such as NVH.
Based on their experience, PSA Peugeot Citroen assessed the capabilities of LMS Virtual.Lab Noise and Vibration, and selected Virtual.Lab as the new solution to support its NVH engineering activities in vehicle development.
PSA Peugeot Citroen will use LMS Virtual.Lab to support the engineering of ever more stringent NVH targets, which will further develop the distinctive Peugeot and Citroen brand positioning.
To support this challenge, PSA Peugeot Citroen expects to benefit from the tight integration of LMS Virtual.Lab with Catia V5.
This integration allows PSA Peugeot Citroen to connect the design models with virtual simulation models.
PSA Peugeot Citroen will gain from the coherent and easy-traceable link between component and subsystem designs on one hand, and the design modifications needed to optimise full-vehicle NVH performance on the other hand.
"PSA Peugeot Citroen selected LMS Virtual.Lab because it is the only available commercial solution with a proven capacity to streamline the full-vehicle NVH development process and to provide in-depth NVH expertise and knowhow", explained Bruno Hazet, Head of the Vehicle Functional Performance Department of PSA Peugeot Citroen 's Technical and Scientific Resources Division.
"LMS Virtual.Lab's integration with Catia V5 will allow us to tightly link design to the simulation of key attributes such as NVH.
The integration of LMS Virtual.Lab with our testing systems from LMS will also allow us to re-use test data and models to increase the speed and accuracy of simulation".
Jan Leuridan, LMS Corporate Vice-President and Chief Technology Officer, added: "PSA Peugeot Citroen is a longstanding and valued customer of LMS and we are very pleased with their strategic decision to compliment their LMS testing systems for NVH with LMS Virtual.Lab.
The extension of our relationship to their virtual prototyping activities is another confirmation of our vision and strategy to deliver innovative process solutions that focus on application-specific performance attributes such as NVH.
We are confident that with LMS Virtual.Lab, PSA Peugeot Citroen will succeed in setting new standards for NVH and getting new vehicles on the market faster". Request free introductory details about products from LMS International ...
