Volvo Cars has made significant investments into both HPC (high-performance computing) hardware and CAE software to support its engineering teams’ quest to master NVH. Swedish auto manufacturer Volvo Car Corporation is no exception. NVH is such an important part of new vehicle design that today’s auto manufacturers invest millions of dollars into engineering solutions to simulate NVH before moving a vehicle into production. NVH directly impacts the customer experience and helps identify the quotient of quality put into the design and construction of a new automobile. O ne of the most important customer-facing elements of any new vehicle is NVH (noise, vibration and harshness). Pressure distribution around a car body due to a sound source at the exhaust orifice is pictured.
