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 Virtual.Lab was selected by Magna Steyr for its unique hybrid simulation capabilities, allowing engineering teams to combine test models of components and subsystems with virtual models of the new vehicle design, herewith significantly accelerating the vehicle development process.
Magna Steyr, a subsidiary of Magna International, is the world's largest brand-independent engineering and manufacturing partner to the automotive industry.
Magna Steyr's range of services comprises the whole spectrum of processes within the automotive industry, from development to production, from the concept to the assembled vehicle.
Magna Steyr has built an extensive expertise in NVH engineering to meet the challenges posed by today's vehicle development projects.
With the deployment of LMS Virtual.Lab, Magna Steyr expects to extend its capabilities to proactively shape the NVH performance, comfort profile and acoustics characteristics of new vehicles from the early design stage onwards.
"Magna Steyr selected LMS Virtual.Lab because it is the only available commercial solution with a proven capability to streamline the full-vehicle NVH development process and to provide reliable insights in the NVH behaviour of new vehicle designs using virtual prototype models", explained Harald Macher, Head of the NVH Department at Magna Steyr.
"LMS Virtual.Lab also provides powerful capabilities to combine virtual models of new components with test-based models of existing components and subsystems".
"This strongly increases the accuracy of simulation results, reduces the overall simulation model sise, and accelerates simulation and design iterations".
In addition to the core functionality of LMS Virtual.Lab Noise and Vibration, Magna Steyr also valued the flexibility of the new value based licensing system of LMS Virtual.Lab.
This allows them to access multiple Virtual.Lab applications and to easily cover additional simulation needs they encounter through vehicle development projects, without having to reinvest in new software licences. Request a free brochure from LMS International ...
