How CEVT Improves Vehicle Architecture and Eliminates BSR Through Simulation - Part 2
Improving the ESL using Complete Vehicle Correlation
In the previous webinar, the development of an ESL has been shown based on a complete vehicle simulation. In order to validate this new approach, a comprehensive correlation work has been performed. Using the dynamic distortion in all closure body openings as correlation criteria offer a unique possibility to increase the understanding of the load from both the engine and the wheel suspension.
This webinar presents this correlation where a test vehicle is driven on different test tracks both in reality and virtually.

Simulating Ride, Handling and Durability of Two and Three-Wheeled Vehicles
Two and Three Wheeler companies be it existing OEMs, new EV start-ups or others serving this segment want to shorten the product development time and get to market faster. Designing a new two/three wheeled vehicle addressing refined customer expectations requires performance to be at par with established norms when it comes to vehicle ride, handling, and durability.
To address this need Altair developed a New Unified solution for simulating two and three wheeled vehicles as a part of the HyperWorks 2020 release. The solution is aimed at companies designing and manufacturing two and three wheeled vehicles with IC or Electric engines. The solution is beneficial to both, leaning and non-leaning vehicles and helps engineers predict vehicle dynamics & control, durability and ride and comfort of two and three wheeled vehicles.

How CEVT Improves Vehicle Architecture and Eliminates BSR Through Simulation - Part 1
ESL Development Based on Simulation - Application example
The body stiffness has a major impact on the Squeak & Rattle performance of a car. Since the body structure of electrical/autonomous cars will differ clearly from traditional bodies, an enhanced requirement is needed to limit the distortion in the closure openings.
This webinar presents a new approach of defining a requirement based on closure deformations using an equivalent static load (ESL), which considers both the reduction from a complete vehicle to a BIG and from a dynamic load to a static load. In addition, an example is shown how ESL can be used as input for body optimization.

Powertrain Mount Optimisation Webinar
Many engineers and designers in the automotive industry would like to determine a reasonable powertrain mounting system which meets a list of static and dynamic performance requirements, the design of which is limited by many factors. One of the approaches is to adopt a decoupling arrangement between powertrain rigid-body modes and to control frequencies in the main vibration directions of the powertrain so they fall within a desirable range. This is done by optimising stiffness, location and orientation of mounts.
