The Automotive Industry, Engineering the Passion is Harder Than it Looks

Car manufacturers are pressed to refresh their product models much faster than before, and to penetrate new markets with innovative new designs that support and cultivate strong brand values. But how do you design a car to deliver the specific brand experience? How do you engineer a suspension for a sporty ride? How can you tune an engine to roar during hard acceleration and to be whisper-quiet as it cruises?

Through 25 years of experience in automotive engineering, LMS has built long-standing relationships with most of the automotive OEMs, and enables their engineering teams to evolve to a function-driven product development process.

LMS’ automotive solutions and expertise cover the following vehicle engineering areas:

  • Full vehicle
  • Car body
  • Engine and powertrain
  • Driveline systems
  • Intake, exhaust and engine auxiliaries
  • Chassis, suspension, brakes, mounts, tires
  • Interiors, trim, seating
  • NVH and sound quality
  • Occupant safety and crash
  • Ride comfort
  • Durability
  • Vehicle dynamics
  • Engine dynamics
  • Multi-attribute optimization
LMS is a primary technology partner for Mercedes Car Group in the areas of durability, NVH, handling and ride comfort. LMS simulation software and testing systems empowers the world-class product development organization at Mercedes-Benz.

LMS has been supporting more than 20 years of “driving innovation” at Renault. Over 100 LMS testing systems are in use at Renault, both for engine and full vehicle engineering. LMS was selected as Renault’s strategic NVH engineering partner. Renault also calls up on LMS for durability and acoustic simulation. 

LMS developed a longstanding relationship with NISSAN and supports its engineering teams with numerous NVH engineering projects and with NVH testing and simulation software.

LMS teamed up with Honda to accelerate its automotive design and refinement processes in key attribute areas such as NVH, durability and vehicle dynamics. 

General Motors
standardized on LMS systems to implement an integrated approach to NVH testing and analysis, and to reach new standards of NVH refinement.

BMW
substantially improved its durability engineering process and reduced its development time and costs by implementing LMS durability solutions. LMS is also a key technology partner to BMW in NVH engineering and dynamic engine simulation.

LMS simulation solutions and testing systems are key to all the development programs at Ford in the US and in Europe, including the ones at Volvo, Jaguar, Land Rover and Aston Martin.

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation
granted LMS the development responsibility for full-vehicle NVH, durability, ride & handling and cross-attribute optimization for its next-generation vehicle platform.

Meeting the Growing Engineering Challenges of Automotive Suppliers…
Automotive OEMs are optimizing their complete supply chain to shorten development time, develop innovative products, and manage costs and risks.  Their suppliers are asked to take on growing levels of engineering responsibility. Successful suppliers have transformed themselves from a parts vendors into solution providers, and have become real co-development partners.

Companies like Aisin Seiki, Bosch, Delphi,  Denso, Faurecia, Johnson Controls, Lear, Magna, TRW, Visteon or ZF rely on LMS solutions to engineer components and subsystems. They apply the most advanced simulation and testing techniques to optimize the durability performance of suspension systems, chassis components and body parts. They predict the dynamic performance, durability and acoustic quality of engine, transmission and driveline systems. They optimize the NVH performance of trim, seats, dashboards and complete car interiors. LMS testing and virtual prototyping solutions are at the core of their engineering processes.
