Multibody Dynamics & NVH — Finite Element Multibody Dynamics

By combining MBD simulation and NVH finite element simulation analysis, engineers can create comprehensive models that simulate the dynamic behavior of a system, including its motion, forces, noise, and vibration. This allows for the evaluation and optimization of a system's performance and safety, as well as the development of strategies to mitigate noise and vibration issues.

The use of MBD simulation and NVH analysis is critical in the design and optimization of complex mechanical systems, enabling engineers to develop systems that meet performance and safety requirements while also minimizing noise and vibration levels.

The wider discipline

Multibody Dynamics

Complex mechanical assemblies present design challenges that require a dynamic system-level analysis to be met. Accurate modeling can require representations of various types of components, like electronic controls systems and compliant parts and connections, as well as complicated physical phenomena like vibration, friction and noise.
MBD analysis enables us to meet these challenges by quickly evaluating and improving designs for important characteristics like performance, safety and comfort. Traditional MBD assumes that structural members are fully rigid, but with coupled using of FEA and MBD software such as Ansys, Abaqus, Simpack …
