NVH Director 2020.1 Release Notes
Highlights
- Configuration Management
- E-Motor NVH Post-Processing
New Features
- Configuration Management
- New feature to create configurations and assign modules to the configuration which are unique to that configuration. All of the common and unique modules along with connections in a specific configuration are loaded in the session when a particular configuration is selected. The Analysis Manager is enhanced to create and manage configuration specific loadcases. This feature allows you to easily generate and maintain different model variants with a user-friendly interface, and direct interaction with other features like the Analysis Manager and network view.
- E-Motor NVH Post-Processing
- New feature in Order Cut Analysis utility to plot the waterfall diagram and perform order cut analysis of electro-magnetic forces acting on stator teeth of an e-motor. There are also advanced options to display force vector animations and distribution across stator teeth for these electro-magnetic forces. This allows you to characterize e-motor loadcases with respect to critical frequencies, order contents and magnitude of excitations for further diagnostics of critical e-motor NVH responses.
- Mounts Optimization
- New feature for optimizing the mount stiffness and layout configuration for decoupling powertrain rigid body modes and reduce vibration transmission. This allows for easy creation and submission of optimization set-up by defining objective of decoupling rigid body modes, creating constraints for rigid body mode frequencies and specifying design space for variables in terms of mount stiffness, locations and inclinations.
Enhancements
- Network View
- Docking of network view allowing seamless interaction between assembly view, graphics view and network view
- Connections
- Option to realize/unrealize connections for selected connections in the Connection Browser.
- Assembly XML Import Performance
- Significant performance improvement in the assembly XML import resulting from improvements in template import performance.
- Performance improvement in on-the-fly diagnostics computation
- Significant performance improvement in on-the-fly-diagnostics calculation of modal contributions, panel participation and transfer path analysis for standard loadcases of road inputs and powertrain inputs.
Resolved Issues
- Issue related to modified MAC calculation.
- Issue in node pairing with selected node sets for MAC calculation.
- Issue in export of identified nodes in UNV files from FRAC utility.
- Issue in Packing the Assembly model with tire models not specified in the Tire Patch Points Manager.
