Durability and Safety

Finite element methodologies are used to evaluate the design with component, system or vehicle level analyses,  starting early from the concept phase up to the physical test and final validation activities.

  • Structural Optimization
  • Linear and Non-Linear Static Analysis
  • Fatigue Analysis
  • Passive Safety Simulations (ECE R66 & ECE R110)
  • Special Loadcases (Liquid/Solid Interaction, Thermal Stress, etc.)

Noise, Vibration and Harshness – NVH

With CAE analyses, potential failures are detected in early phases of the vehicle project, even before prototype production and fast, accurate and cost optimized solutions are provided to the development team.

  • Full Body Vehicle CAE Modal Analyses and Modal Separation Strategy
  • Vehicle Body Structure Global Stiffness Analyses
  • Frequency Response Function Analyses
  • Noise and Vibration Transfer Function
  • Statistical Energy Analyses

Thermal & Aerodynamics System 

  • Aerodynamics Analysis
  • Passenger Thermal Comfort Analysis
  • Windshield defrosting/demisting Analysis
  • Underhood Thermal Management Analysis
  • Exterior Water & Dirt Management Analysis

Vehicle and System Dynamics

Vehicle and system dynamics studies that involve design, virtual analysis and testing activities have an important role in vehicle development. Within this scope, we carry out engineering studies to form the important characteristic features of the vehicle including ride comfort, handling, traction and braking.

  • Vehicle Dynamics Simulation
    • Building Chassis Systems and Full Vehicle Models
    • Kinematic & Compliance Simulations
    • Ride & Handling Analysis
  • Optimization
    • Optimization of a suspension system
    • Optimization of a steering system
  • Vehicle Dynamics Driving Testing
  • Virtual Testing and Correlation
    • Component & System Virtual Testing
    • FEA Load Generations
    • Durability Simulations
