Our Automotive practice supports our engineering clients on their virtual product & process engineering activities for the development program of a vehicle in various stages from benchmarking, concept evaluation & validation, design development & optimization using components, sub-systems & full vehicle virtual prototypes. We have worked with various engineering departments of reputable clients supporting them on activities such as:

• Vehicle Engineering inclusive of vehicle assembly digital modeling as well as select full-vehicle validation
• Body Engineering
• Powertrain and Driveline engineering
• Chassis Engineering
• Interiors and Trim development

CADmarC has strong capabilities in High-End Design Validation such as Crash and Noise & Vibration Analysis. We are proud to be the engineering partners to various International OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers for their niche design analysis. We have collaborated on various projects such as full vehicle noise vibration analysis for new vehicle launch program while also providing the client's core design team with several valuable pointers toward structuro-weight optimization strategies which is usually performed in the later stages of the vehicle design cycle.

CADmarC has set-up world class infrastructure including high performance computational nodes, workstations, utilizing software tools including CATIA, ProEngineer, Unigraphics, LMS VL, Nastran, LS DYNA, Hyperworks Suite, ANSA, ADAMS, ANSYS and FLUENT to cater to the CAE/NVH requirements in the Automotive segment.
