Introduction:
• Indian and worldwide automotive markets are moving towards low cost, compact, light weight and fuel efficient cars.
• The trend of automotive OEMs currently is to reduce weight of BIW and at the same time to do downsizing of engines.
• Focus on downsizing of engines has lead to some of the automotive OEMs even introducing vehicles having twocylinder engines.

Attachment stiffness plot at Engine mount showing drop in attachment stiffness at global modes
Problem Definition:
Date Author 6Disclosure or duplication without consent is prohib ited
Attachment stiffness plot at Engine mount showing drop in attachment stiffness at global modes
• A downsized engine will excite the global modes more frequently than the engine with more number of cylinders.
• Reduced isolation for vibrations due to poor dynamic stiffness at these global modes.
• Increased strong impulsive forcing from downsized power train.
This problem most often translates to low frequency “ Boom Noise ” & tactile vibrations.
Requirement : This problem has to be considered in early stages of CAE analysis.

Joint Stiffness Optimization
Objective: To improve low frequency attachment stiffness by identifying & improving critical joints.
Input: Concept CAD data of BIW skeleton.
Description: The analysis steps for joint stiffness optimization are as follows:Step 1: Evaluation of dynamic stiffness at power train & suspension attachment points on 1D beam of BIW.Step 2: Identification of critical joints having maximum influence on attachment points in step 1 through nastran SOL 200 run. Here the target is to improve the attachment stiffness at global bending and torsion frequency by 20 %.

Step 3: For critical joints identified in step 2, detailed FE model of joints are made and static stiffness of joints is improved as suggested by nastran SOL 200 run with in packaging constraints.
Benefit: Only Critical joints are improved which leads to minimal weight addition.

ERP Optimization
Objective: To identify panels contributing significantly to Vibra acoustic response in early design stage.
Input: Concept BIW structure.
Description: Calculation of ERP does not require a passenger acoustic cavity for calculation of sound power radiated by BIW. Use of ERP in concept/alpha stage of vehicle program helps to identify panels contributing significantly to acoustic response. Sincein concept/alpha stage of program scope for changes is more, the BIW sections, panel design etc can be changed to improve the acoustic response by avoiding additional reinforcements.

• The target weight of BIW can only be achieved if optimization of BIW performance & weight is done at each stage ofCAE analysis.
• The proposed approach has to be improved to cover other NVH performance parameters. For example optimization ofsuspension component design can improve road noise performance with optimization of un sprung mass weight.
