While product life cycles and development phases get shorter, other factors such as customer demands, competition, cost pressure and the number of car models all increase. The modeling of automotive audio and acoustics also poses a significant technical challenge. Still, new products and technologies must be both innovative and mature – with highest requirements in regards to performance and quality. This proves demanding, especially in terms of the complex product development, quality assurance and benchmarking of sound automotive solutions.
HARMAN VirtualWORKS is based on extraordinary simulation capabilities. It reduces the need for physical samples to an absolute minimum and offers the right solution for every step of the development process. The modular approach of the HARMAN VirtualWORKS concept is designed to meet customer requirements at any level and scale.
