Dynamic and Vibration Analysis NVH
Understand how your product behaves and performs mechanically under dynamic loads and vibration conditions.Download Brochure Request information
Most real-world structures are subjected to vibrational excitations. Through Finite Element Modeling (FEM), it is possible to analyze a product’s behavior under dynamic loading conditions. This allows early detection of potential issues related to acoustic comfort or even structural failure due to vibration-induced fatigue.
We can accurately simulate the dynamic response of a mechanical system starting with the calculation of natural frequencies and mode shapes and then move on to advanced studies such as Frequency Response Function (FRF) analysis, shock response, and random vibration (Power Spectral Density – PSD) analysis.

The Benefits of NVH Dynamic Analysis
NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) dynamic analysis provides crucial insights into how a product behaves under time-dependent loads such as vibrations and mechanical shocks.
Using FEM simulations, engineers can assess vibration levels, evaluate the influence of geometry and materials, and test the effectiveness of damping or isolation systems—all during the design phase. This allows for the identification of optimal configurations long before physical prototypes are built.
Considering that such information would traditionally require costly experimental testing on vibration benches—and that failure-driven design changes are often non-intuitive—NVH simulations have become a standard practice in the qualification of systems exposed to dynamic environments.
NVH Simulation Services by SmartCAE
Over 20 years of engineering expertise at your service.
We offer advanced NVH analysis services across a wide range of mechanical engineering applications. Typical services include:
Calculates natural frequencies and mode shapes of elastic systems. These results offer critical insight into the mass and stiffness distribution of the structure and help improve its dynamic performance.
Evaluates the product’s global response to harmonic excitation. This type of analysis replicates experimental tests with high fidelity and supports the validation of prototypes under controlled vibrational loads.
Most systems installed in vehicles (cars, aircraft, etc.) are subjected to random dynamic loads, typically represented as excitation spectra in the frequency domain. Using FEM, we apply Power Spectral Density (PSD) loads to the model and compute RMS responses, which are directly comparable to vibration bench test results.
