HyperWorks Partner Alliance Heavy Industry Webinar Series

Tuesday,April  05, 2011                                                                                                                                                                      

Time :  11:00 AM US EDT (GMT -4)

Overview

Companies at the forefront of the heavy vehicles industry understand the importance of design optimization and simulation to their production strategies. It is essential to find new and innovative ways to optimize time, money, and resources by creating the optimal design before manufacturing your first prototype.

Increasing the durability and reducing the noise are only two examples among the gamut of functional requirements that are influenced by the dynamic loads experienced by the vehicle under operating conditions. Hence, understanding the effect of the dynamic loads is critical to develop high performance products. The effective use of CAE and test approaches is critical to understand the product performance under dynamic loads. Damping estimation and correlation of test and CAE results are two important steps. The webinar will give an overview of these steps and the case studies are demonstrated using VMAP.

FEA – Test Correlation and Model Updating with VMAP

The product design engineering teams in automotive companies are constantly working to improve the NVH performance of their designs. The simulation-driven design approach is constantly reducing the man hours spent on testing. The challenge is to make the simulation as a reliable decision-making tool while meeting the continuously reducing development timelines and budgets.

VMAP provides a one-stop solution to address the key problem faced by design teams consisting of simulation and test engineers. VMAP empowers the simulation engineers with a user-friendly FEA-Test Correlation tool for correlation of experimental modal analysis and FE-modal analysis results. It also provides an accurate and simple model updating solver to automatically modify simulation model based on experimental vibration data.

This webinar will use a set of case studies to explain the 2D approach – a process driven approach to design components and systems by combining both the vibration test and simulation models. The examples demonstrated include automotive components and subsystems. The webinar will feature test data acquired with simple impact testing and state-of-the art laser vibrometer technology.
