Abstract

Virtual prototyping is a powerful tool for helping automakers cut cost and reduce vehicle development time. Virtual acoustics is the part of virtual prototyping that allows an engineer or customer to experience the virtual noise environment of a virtual vehicle, and is thus make possible the application of automotive sound quality engineering without the need for costly physical hardware.
