Every era of automobiles comes with its challenges for OEMs and component manufacturers. For battery electric vehicles (BEVs), it's all about NVH: noise, vibration and harshness. 🚗🔋🔊 Sanden International Europe GmbH, a global innovator of automotive thermal system products focused on quality and sustainability, knew they would need to address the following when moving from mechanical to electrical compressors: • Increased vehicle requirements • Noise and vibration design • Ability to share objective interface comparisons between development sites • Future requirements for sustainable refrigerant liquids Having used Simcenter software from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio for over 20 years, the right tools for innovation were readily available with Simcenter SCADAS hardware, Simcenter Qsources hardware and Simcenter Testlab software. Applying these solutions and a blocked force methodology, their teams virtualized test component designs and gathered and analyzed data related to elements like sound and vibration, all to determine the best integration points and ensure peak performance. By incorporating simulation and advanced data tools into their processes, the Sanden team continued to deliver sustainable, competitive products and: 🕛Cut development times by 50% 💶 Saved hundreds of thousands of euros 🔁Enabled objective comparisons between development sites 📉 Reduced troubleshooting times and costs
