Hyundai Motor Company develops a dummy model to virtually test seat vibrations
シート製造・快適性自動車・輸送機器 
Since seats contain lots of components, it's very difficult to find the factors that influence the dynamic comfort of the seat. We tried to figure this out using VIRTUAL SEAT SOLUTION and reached our goal. This new way of working will help us save money and time effectively.
Challenge
Seat occupant comfort is impacted by vibrations; this constraint must be taken into account during the seat design process. Therefore a reliable test has to be defined.
Hyundai Motor Company originally uses Virtual Seat for checking the occupant’s posture in the seat, the body pressure and the foam hardness. The challenge of this project, performed by Body & Trim development team, is to develop a virtual dummy model and to perform accurate virtual vibration tests.
Benefits
With the fully validated dummy model, Hyundai Motor Company can now perform virtual vibration testing with VIRTUAL SEAT SOLUTION earlier in the development process. By sitting first the dummy and taking into account foam compression and induced dynamic properties at each point of the seat, the virtual vibration test is accurate and can replace some of the physical prototypes.
