Inventum Engineering Solutions participated in the European Hybrid & EV NVH Summit 2025 in Frankfurt, a key event bringing together OEMs, suppliers, and experts in automotive NVH engineering.
During the summit, Francesco Trainotti, Co-Founder of Inventum Engineering Solutions, delivered a keynote presentation on the state of the art in experimental and hybrid substructuring. The talk addressed current challenges and solutions in test-based substructuring, highlighting key points such as data handling, interface characterization and scalability for vehicle-level applications.
Key Insights from the Presentation
A key takeaway from the discussion was that, while the integration of substructuring methods into virtual acoustic prototyping is progressing, fully seamless and predictive workflows are still an open challenge. Continued innovation in testing strategies, processing algorithms, modeling workflows and experimental–numerical integration will be essential to enable next-generation NVH development.
Inventum's NVH Research and Innovation
Inventum is deeply engaged in NVH research and innovation, working continuously to translate emerging methods into industry-ready engineering practices. Our comprehensive approach integrates three complementary pillars:
- Substructuring and Transfer Path Analysis: Advanced methods for understanding system behavior through component interactions
- Contactless Motion Analysis: Full-field optical measurement techniques for capturing vibration patterns without physical sensors
- Nonlinear Characterization: Sophisticated approaches for modeling and understanding complex nonlinear dynamics
Together, these three pillars form a complementary and robust workflow, essential for understanding and optimizing the NVH of today's increasingly complex mechatronic assemblies.
Looking Forward
The European Hybrid & EV NVH Summit provided an excellent platform for discussing the future of automotive NVH engineering. As the industry transitions to electrified powertrains, new challenges emerge in noise and vibration management, requiring innovative testing and modeling approaches.
Inventum Engineering Solutions thanks ECV International for the invitation and the excellent organization of the event and looks forward to continuing discussions and collaborations within the NVH community.
