Characterize → Predict → Explore: The Component-based Transfer Path Analysis & Virtual Prototyping Masterclass 2027
October 21, 2026
As products become more complex and development timelines continue to shrink, NVH engineers are moving beyond the traditional “Build → Measure → React” approach toward a new workflow: Characterize → Predict → Explore. By combining invariant component characterization, blocked forces, and dynamic sub-structuring techniques, engineers can create hybrid virtual prototypes that predict system-level NVH performance before physical prototypes exist. This shift enables earlier design exploration, reduces reliance on late-stage troubleshooting, and accelerates the transition to virtual prototyping. The 2027 component-Based Transfer Path Analysis & Virtual Prototyping masterclass is designed to help engineers adopt these methods through hands-on training in the latest techniques and workflows available in Simcenter Testlab.
