Comparison of FEM Simulations of Rubber-Metal Mount Element

Abstract

Increasing of electric vehicles volume brings new challenges in NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) area. Presented paper deals with comparison of simulations of rubber-metal motor mount using finite element method. For the future work it is important to define static characteristics of rubber-metal mounts. It leads to study possibilities of simulations of rubber-metal mount in different software environment. Preparing of computational models are realized in MSC Marc and MSC Nastran. Results from simulations are compared to Abaqus simulation results.
