Problem
Engineers face challenges in accurately predicting noise and vibration (NVH) performance during early product development stages, leading to costly iterative design cycles and physical prototypes. Existing methods often struggle to efficiently integrate experimental data with numerical simulations to create high-quality dynamic models.
Solution
VIBES.technology offers a software suite that enables engineers to create dynamic models by integrating experimental data with numerical simulations, addressing NVH challenges early in the design process. The VIBES Methodology combines test-based data with simulated data through Virtual Point Transformation, allowing for a hybrid modeling approach. The software suite includes DIRAC for FRF testing, SOURCE for blocked force source characterization and component TPA, and COUPLE for modular NVH design, assembly, prediction, and optimization. This approach facilitates a modular NVH process, ensuring high-quality results, efficient workflows, and flexible, intuitive functionalities.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes automotive and high-tech industries, particularly NVH engineers involved in product development, sound and vibration analysis, and dynamic sub-structuring.
