I am pleased to invite you to hear our HVAC noise presentation which will be presented at both events below :


We will be covering the topic of HVAC noise and thermal performance optimization, in a presentation entitled:

A Holistic and CAD Enabled Approach to HVAC Design: Using Simulation to Optimize Noise Comfort and Defrost Performance

Amidst a changing automotive industry, where consumers are expecting continuing improvements around autonomous and electric vehicles, OEMS are racing to provide brand defining transformations in cabin comfort and safety. The cabin of a car is becoming a new living space, where the demands on comfort and passenger experience are unprecedentedly high, but must at the same time verify legal road requirements. Satisfying all these cabin requirements during the vehicle design used to be a question of compromise, where for example the validation of legal requirements for the defrosting of the windshield often meant compromising on noise levels. With holistic SIMULIA fluid solutions however, interior noise sources from the Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning Unit (HVAC) can now be reduced whilst verifying legal windshield defrost requirements through simulation of ice presence. In this presentation, we will show how PowerFLOW and PowerTHERM are used to design the HVAC of a BMW cabin whilst optimizing noise levels and verifying legal defrost requirements. In order to generate innovative geometries, we will also show how a fully parametric duct design from CATIA v5 can be integrated in the optimization, allowing for a large and comprehensive design space.
