Customer’s Objective
CAE Support For Homologation Of An Existing Vehicle To Comply With FMVSS, NCAP, IIHS Regulation Requirements And Associated NVH And Durability Performance Evaluation
Inputs Provided
- CAD/FEA Model Of Base Vehicle Configuration
- List Of Sub-assembly To Be Carried Over From Various Vehicles (Input CAD/FEA Model)
- Geographies For Homologation
| Software |
HYPERWORKS 11.0, ANSA 13.2 , PAM CRASH, LS DYNA, MSC NASTRAN, VISUAL CRASH PAM 7.0 |
Our Solution
- Performed Model Changes Required In The Existing Model. (Carryover Sub-Assemblies From Various Vehicles)
- To Reduce Time, INCLUDE File Concept Was Used . The Customer Model Was A Single FEA File Except For Tires Assembly
- Initially Single Master Model Was Used For Evaluation, Later Fine Tuned For Each Load Case (Front / Rear / Side / Roof)
- Multi Model Coupling Usage For Critical Sub-systems, Which Reduce The Setup Time And Total-run Time Of The Load Cases.
- Baseline FMVSS/IIHS/NCAP Studies Were Done Along With NVH/Durability Load Cases
- Counter-Measures Were Incorporated Into The Baseline Model And Performance Evaluation Was Undertaken For Crash/NVH And Durability Load Cases
