Immersive Environment with a Robust NVH Simulator

While there are several factors that affect buying decisions, the key differentiator is driving experience. Over the last few decades, designers and engineers have shifted their focus to the layout, comfort, technological and audio experience of a vehicle.

Noise, vibrations and harshness (NVH) along with in-car technology and superior connectivity, forms a crucial part of a vehicle. This has a great deal of effect on customer impression.

Enhancing Customer Experience by Improving Noise, Vibrations & Harshness of your Vehicle

NVH is about improving the overall vehicle experience, right from a powerful train sound, to recreation. It has always been a critical component of assessment for automotive engineers. Often, NVH indicators are generated only after the initial physical prototype. This limits any scope for improvement and greatly affects cost and time.

VI-grade’s NVH solutions bring sound and vibration data into the real world providing engineers and designers a highly interactive driving experience.

This solution enables engineers to develop a virtual model from the existing vehicle data, component test-bench and CAE data. The readings from these data are then used to develop sound and vibration driver-in-the-loop simulations.

NVH Solutions

NVH solutions create a conducive and a highly dynamic driving experience by applying multi-degree-of-freedom vibration at all driver touchpoints. The vehicle sound can be heard through headphones or speakers.

With this solution, drivers can experience the sound and vibration of a vehicle irrespective of the driving condition, such as vehicle noise that occurs during shift of gears and acceleration, or changing from smooth to rough to bumpy road surfaces.

VI-grade has a comprehensive list of NVH simulation solutions, the most recent being Brüel & Kjær NVH Simulator technology.

  • Desktop NVH Simulator & Static NVH Simulator
    With an immersive environment, this software solution provides real-time driver-in-the-loop control of the vehicle through steering wheel, gear shift, pedals and other controls.
  • On-road NVH Simulator
    This software solution presents NVH Simulator virtual prototype sounds into existing vehicles, bringing simulation to the real vehicle.
  • Exterior Sound Simulator
    The Exterior Sound Simulator represents the NVH virtual model in a virtual environment. This allows engineers to understand the impact on the vehicle and on those outside the vehicle.
  • VI-SimSound
    Experience an immersive and accurate sound experience through VI-SimSound. This software solution can be connected to one of the many Driving Simulators.
  • Vsound
    Vsound is a sound assessment system that allows real-time simulation, giving engineers and customers a chance to choose appropriate sounds and compare alternative designs.
