Ford uses Pulse NVH Vehicle Simulator
Ford Motor Co is the first North American automaker to use a Brüel & Kjær Pulse NVH Vehicle Simulator to simulate the interior sound of a vehicle under a variety of driving conditions, at different speeds and on various road surfaces, conveying sense of quality and performance before the first prototype is even built.
“We can eliminate mistakes up front, reduce the need for prototyping, shorten the time to market, and produce a product that not only delivers high-end interior quietness, but also provides vehicle sounds that are more engaging for the customer,” said Mark Clapper, technical leader for noise, vibration, and harshness at Ford.
Meanwhile, MIRA, the UK-based automotive design, development, and certification consultancy, is also using a Pulse data acquisition and analysis system with Sound Power software as part of its European certification and homologation work for automotive and non-automotive customers.
