Full vehicle development and integration

LMS Engineering Services supports development teams in delivering a new vehicle on-time and on-budget using
a unique blend of advanced technologies and pragmatic development experience gained from working with the
world’s leading automotive OEMs. LMS engineering teams are uniquely skilled at balancing functional attributes against other key program drivers such as manufacturing and assembly, fuel economy, mass, and overall program cost.

Vehicle concept engineering

  • Detailed predecessor and competitive benchmarking
  • Target setting and cascading
  • Early analytical concept models to guide global decisions
  • Accelerated construction of full-vehicle FE concept models, by morphing predecessor models to the new design
  • Accelerated construction of hybrid full-vehicle models, by combing test-based models of existing subsystems with FE models of new components
  • Generation of reliable loading information for different attribute studies
  • Single or multi-attribute simulations to detect weak spots and optimize concept designs
Detailed design and engineering

  • Accelerated modification of virtual simulation models that eliminate the time-consuming modification loops on the initial CAD models
  • Substructured and hybrid modeling techniques, which reduce the size and increase the accuracy of simulation models
  • Assessment of the vehicle’s real-world performance using real-world loads gathered from predecessor vehicles
  • Rapid design cycles using combined crash, NVH and durability models and assessing multiple performance attributes in parallel
  • Exploration of structural improvements guided by path, panel and modal contribution analysis
  • Consolidation of recommendations in view of multi-attribute discussions
Prototype refinement and validation

  • Accelerated testing and analysis to gain an indepth understanding of the problem and to explore the potential root causes
  • Quick evaluation of possible design fixes using virtual simulation and hybrid engineering techniques
  • Fast prototyping to validate the diagnosis results and develop the solution
