A Cadence Design Systems Case Study
Volvo Cars Corporation faced the challenge of accurately modeling NVH encapsulation for the acoustic simulation of its electric drive units. The complex geometry and varying air gaps made this process traditionally difficult and extremely time-consuming, hindering their development process. They worked with Cadence and its ANSA pre-processor software to find a solution.
Cadence implemented a partly automated modeling procedure using batch meshing scenarios within the ANSA pre-processor. This new workflow simplified the process and created an accurate, simulation-ready FE representation. The solution delivered by Cadence cut Volvo Cars' NVH encapsulation modeling time by 90%, allowing for more design iterations and more accurate NVH simulations.
