A vehicle’s NVH performance largely depends on the various loads the vehicle is exposed to, and on the resulting complex interactions between the numerous components and connections. Therefore, the correct approach to noise and vibration engineering is optimizing the vehicle as a complete system. From the early concept development stages onwards, LMS Virtual.Lab Noise and Vibration supports vibro-acoustic assessment on full-system models. It captures all critical process steps to systematically improve the noise and vibration characteristics of a complete assembly.
