Very early design decisions have a significant impact on the intrinsic structural and dynamic properties of
the car. The concept development of the chassis, for example, will be strongly focused on delivering the desired
handling for the new design. All the same, the core setup of the chassis has a major impact on ride comfort
and the overall NVH performance of the vehicle. Not taking these key attributes into account might result
into major difficulties in reaching vehicle-level NVH targets later on. Through its vast experience in the
automotive industry, LMS Engineering Services has developed dedicated processes and simulation technologies
to simultaneously address multiple performance attributes during the concept phase. As a result, key attributes can be balanced and a series of weak spots and potential problems eliminated in the concept phase.
