NAA Member News: ARC – NVH, Acoustic and Vibration simulation services
NAA Member ARC has recently announced the introduction of NVH, Acoustic and Vibration simulation services to its automotive clients.
NVH (Noise, Vibration & Harshness) simulations allows OEMs and suppliers to assess the acoustic performance of their products in the early design phases, before prototype parts or vehicles are available. This prevents costly reworks later in the development cycle. Acoustic and Vibration simulations can also be used to optimise design concepts.
Typical applications for NVH simulations include:
• Noise & Vibration Transfer: eMotors / Drivetrain / Powertrain noise and vibration transfer to cabin occupants or the external environment.
• Operational Sound Quality (OSQ) / Powered Ancillary Systems: NVH optimisation of cabin ancillary devices & HVAC systems.
• Modal Analysis and Structural NVH Simulation: Local Dynamic Stiffness, Modal Response and Optimisation studies.
• AVAS (Acoustic Vehicle Alert System) Development: Ensuring that exterior loudspeaker systems can meet legal requirements at multiple positions around a vehicle.
• Palliative Assessments: NVH assessment of proposed palliative measures to optimise noise & vibration concerns.
