Simulation platform for vehicle development
A
LMS International product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team
Mar 20, 2007
PSA Peugeot Citroen has selected LMS Virtual.Lab as the main integrated simulation platform for body, chassis, engine and full vehicle engineering to perform realistic simulation.
LMS International, the engineering innovation company, announced that PSA Peugeot Citroen has selected LMS Virtual.Lab as the main integrated simulation platform for body, chassis, engine and full vehicle engineering.
LMS Virtual.Lab will support engineers at the French automotive company in performing realistic simulation throughout their vehicle development process.
The contract involves the deployment of LMS Virtual.Lab over several years for a community of more than 500 users, covering critical performance attributes like ride and handling, structural integrity, system dynamics, NVH and acoustics, and delivering a multi attribute assembly workbench.
To meet the difficult challenge to develop an increasing number of vehicle models with optimal quality in shorter time, PSA Peugeot Citroen carefully assessed the capabilities of Virtual.Lab in the individual application domains.
Through previous deployments, Virtual.Lab already proved its benefits for NVH engineering, engine acoustics simulation and loads prediction for durability and vehicle dynamics analysis.
In addition, current users strongly value LMS Virtual.Lab for its openness to integrate with structural analysis solvers like NASTRAN and ABAQUS, and to easily connect to leading solvers in the areas of crash and safety.
Under the new agreement, PSA Peugeot Citroen will deploy LMS Virtual.Lab as part of a strategic program to integrate all the key vehicle simulation tasks into their core vehicle design process.
"The seamless integration of LMS Virtual.Lab with the Dassault Systemes PLM and SIMULIA solutions is a key enabler to tightly link attribute simulation with our vehicle design process," commented Jean-Luc Perrard, Vice-President Product/Process Information Technology at PSA Peugeot Citroen.
"This integration strongly increases the efficiency in creating sub-system and vehicle models and delivers optimal collaboration between design and engineering teams".
According to Jean-Luc Perrard, through the assembly workbench, LMS Virtual.Lab also offers a unique bridge between the different vehicle attribute domains.
This allows an easy sharing of an assembly model between the different disciplines.
It also enables the engineering teams of the French automaker to quickly assess the impact of design changes on key performance aspects like, comfort, NVH or possibly crash.
"Our partnership with LMS, the deployment of LMS Virtual.Lab and its further evolution in line with PSA' requirements, will allow us to further increase the integration and the impact of the different simulation disciplines in our core vehicle design and engineering process.
This will help us meet the challenges of accelerating vehicle development, continuously increasing product quality and delivering innovative vehicle designs," commented Nicolas Morel, Vice-President Vehicle Engineering at PSA Peugeot Citroen.
