LMS database contains vehicle NVH benchmark data
-- Test & Measurement World, 5/22/2008 5:00:00 PM
LMS announces the launch of NVH Observer, a highly detailed and subscription-based database of vehicle noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) benchmarking information.
Compiled by NVH experts from LMS Engineering Services, the database currently contains 14 reference vehicles with plans to increase it by at least 8 vehicles on an annual basis. For each vehicle in the database, NVH Observer provides 6000 curves, including spectra, orders, sensitivities, transfer path analysis (TPA) noise contributions, modes, and binaural time traces.
NVH Observer not only helps you keep benchmarking budgets under control, but also provides access to more detailed data on a wider range of vehicles, while at the same time eliminating costly and time-consuming external studies. Available around the clock 24/7, the database lets you access ready-to-use benchmarking data from practically anywhere in the world.
A dedicated search interface on top of the LMS Tec.Manager database software helps users from various departments access relevant data easier and faster. With just a few mouse clicks, you can view competitive NVH differentiators that can help strategically position new vehicles, investigate possible concepts, and support solution development.
After initially establishing the system with a core group of four members from European and Japanese OEMs, NVH Observer membership is now open to all automotive development centers and suppliers worldwide.
