Modal parameters (resonances, damping coefficients and mode shapes) are identified during EMA by exciting the structure (impact hammer, shakers) and measuring the dynamic response with accelerometers. Once modal parameter are identified, the following steps are normally proposed to the Customer:   FEM validation according to experimental...

Creation of full vehicle models with suspension curves from full MBS models or K&C measurements Validation of numerical models by using telemetry track data Simulation of max performance events and lap time prediction on assigned drive paths and roads Integration of control systems in...

NVH measurements at vehicle-level during lab, dynos and road testing to identify:   Driver critical NVH issues; Propagation paths (structural/airborne) from source to receiver ISO and Customized Metrics correlated to subjective evaluations Powertrain dynamics filtering Suspension dynamics filtering Vehicle dynamic responses (VTF, NTF, Dynamic Stiffnesses)   ...

Creation of full vehicle multibody models for handling tests simulations Managing of proper tire models (MF-Tire, CDTire) Simulation of standardized handling maneuvers in steering open loop (step steer, constant velocity cornering, sine swept) and closed loop (double lane change, constant radius cornering) and user...

Creation and simulation of suspension multibody models (i.e. ADAMS/Car) for wheel-travel analysis, static wheel-loads or durability, including: rigid and flexible suspension parts (arms, twist-beam, anti-roll bars) rubber-metal or hydraulic bushings linear and non-linear force components (spring, dampers, jounce stops) Model validation using K&C test rig output...
