SAAB Automotive

Saab Automobile AB used MSC.Nastran as their primary tool for structural dynamic analysis and structure-borne acoustics calculations to the development process of a new convertible. Design studies early in the development cycle and easily shared data improved interdisciplinary collaboration between the NVH and the chassis departments, enabling Saab to realize a vehicle balanced between weight, safety, and NVH performance. With the help of MSC Nastran and related MSC products, Saab has shortened time-to-market while maintaining safety and validating noise & vibration performance.
