For many noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) phenomena, vibration is a crucial element. Therefore, sound and vibration need to be assessed simultaneously, at accurate levels, to make a correct evaluation and decision about the acoustic and tactile character of the vehicle.

In this free webinar, VI-grade’s Dave Bogema explains how a simulator enables users to experience the vibration and sound of virtual NVH prototypes with minimal space requirements, allowing the clear and efficient communication of NVH characteristics to development engineers and other stakeholders.

Key topics and takeaways:

• Overview of VI-grade’s COMPACT NVH Simulator, which simplifies the interpretation and evaluation of NVH data
• Experience the simulator vibration and sound results of CAE and hybrid CAE/test-based models​
• Investigate the simulator powertrain vibration, sound (Idle, WOT, cylinder deactivation, start-stop…), and road vibration and sound (smooth road, rough road, impact events​…)
• Learn how to perform A/B comparisons between vehicles or designs with instant switching​
