The Importance of Integrated Software Solutions in Troubleshooting Gear Whine

摘要

The development cycle of transmission systems is a complex and costly process. With increased demands for lower-noise transmissions and drivelines driven by markets such as EV and HEVs, more pressure is being placed on designers to design for low noise and for analysts to solve known gear whine issues quickly and efficiently. Quick solutions with minimal cost can be found with a combination of solid methodology, experience and the right software tools. Software plays a vital role within this process. Assessing, controlling and fine-tuning designs for gear whine within an integrated CAE environment, such as that offered by SMT, where test data capture and data analysis, together with advanced simulation methods, are seamlessly integrated, provides engineers with the flexibility and freedom to achieve new levels of quality otherwise too costly and time-consuming to achieve through physical prototyping alone.
