SAR
Squeak And Rattle

SAR software analyses squeak and rattle locations of products

SAR is a unique knowledge based analytical software to identify critical squeak and rattle locations from any complicated mechanical or structural assembly.

SAR provides a simple, accurate, real time cost-effictive solution to solve SAR issues at a very early product development phase.

Highlights


» Uses existing FEA models of any standard NVH, Durability or Safety Simulation
» Automates virtual SAR evaluation with minimal user interaction
» Provides part pairs along with critical locations
» Accounts for GD&T issues under dynamic loads
» Accounts for material (Impact and Friction) properties
» Accounts for Thermal influence
» Supports automatic report generation as well as interactive dynamic results visualization
» User defined customized presentation of results
