Making noise reduction a priority

Automotive OEM

Simcenter 3D for Acoustics Simulation of a rear vent

• Why: allow air to escape to avoid

‘overpressure’ while driving

• Air out Road Noise in !

• The air path needs to be optimally

designed to minimize noise entering

the vehicle: e.g optimal placement

of sound-absorbing materials

“A simulation supported process helps to define more optimal solutions earlier

and faster throughout the development process.”

• Standard practice: manual, experience-based, process (not efficient)

• Achieve optimal design for multiple car variants : cost-effective

Surpass industry standards and enhance the Challenger brand

AGCO

Using Siemens PLM software and services

to develop high-performance crop sprayer

• Optimized the sprayer design for

stability and productivity

• Outperformed industry standards

for the coefficient of variation of the

spray distribution pattern

• Added significant value to the

Challenger brand

“Having a list of materials beginning with the engineering of the product will allow

us to compare and check that all of the information and materials necessary are

present, without missing a single component.”

Roberto Castrillo, Product Engineering Manager

• Model the spraying system using multi-body simulation

• Use vibration testing and analysis for physical prototype validation

Leverage the integration of Design and Simulation to Optimize

the Design Process for Faster Time to Market for New Products



• Leverage simulation to guarantee the product meets expectations

• Use Acoustic Simulation to understand complex sound fields

• Customize software for specific applications

Punch Powertrain

New generation of switched reluctance motors with superior NVH

performance

• Reduced total development time by at

least 50 percent

• Developed new generation of motors

with better NVH performance

• Implemented a new simulation-based

process with knowledge transfer

‘When we consider the fact that it took only half a year to put this process in place, we

can definitely say that the total development time has been reduced by at least a

factor of 2’

Quick and accurate simulation of gear dynamics

• Detailed transmission design

• Simulation of gear dynamics

• Simulation of gear whine

• Take into account effects of:

• Misalignment

• Gear microgeometry

• Light-weight gears

“The Transmission Builder captures modelling processes of dedicated gearbox

tools. Bringing these to a general Multi Body programm. That is very impressive.”

• Standard practice: simulation expert needed to create models

• New approach:

• increase simulation throughput and increased reliability (less errors),

• Through automated definition and assembly of complex gear systems
