2. Introduction Advanced Structures India Pvt Ltd has been established to cater to the rising needs for better engineered products in passenger, commercial and agricultural vehicle sectors in our part of the world, especially India. Our capabilities in field testing and advanced simulation puts us in a unique position to be able to provide engineering support at every stage of product development.

3. Why partner with us? ASI Various Government Labs International Consulting Companies Why partner with us? FocusDevelopmental Testing. Homologation and Certification. Both Homologation and Product Development All activities, teams and resources at ASI are focused towards only one objective: Faster Product Development A phone call away All engineering delivery is done from our facility in Bangalore. Flexibility of our team members will ensure minimum response time. Large scale operations, Inefficient workforce and slow processes likely to affect overall response time. Engineering delivery is handled by overseas teams. Product Development is inherently full of uncertainties and we are the quickest to respond. Cost Effectiveness Local delivery ensure local cost. Furthermore, our internally developed tools and processes allow us to automate a variety of activities. Flexibility leaves a lot to be desired. Cost effectiveness is not a strength here. Best bang for buck. Experience and Competence We have delivered turnkey projects starting from electric smart two wheelers to a family of Bus Body Structures. In house teams have not participated in product development processes. Limited information, benchmarks and database on Indian market/road/consumers. Developing products that are best suited for your target market.

4. Bus Body Engineering Safety, comfort and higher performance requirements are pushing the industry towards better engineered buses. Competition in the industry is rising and this calls for more efficient development and manufacturing processes. Banking on the experience and capabilities developed at ASI while delivering turnkey bus body development projects to leading players, ASI is your perfect partner for development of next generation bus bodies and for setting up complementary manufacturing processes.

5. Automotive Testing Our Capabilities in testing and data acquisition has a force multiplier effect on your internal product development teams. Our Capabilities in testing: Road Load Data Acquisition (Strain, wheel displacements and all relevant parameters) NVH Testing AC performance testing Industry leading signal processing and data analysis tools. Following aspects set us apart from competition: OEM trained testing team. All instruments used by ASI are duly calibrated. Industry benchmarked SOPs for testing and reporting.

6. User Experience Benchmarking We conduct a series of over 70 tests, measuring all aspects in which a user interacts with a vehicle. This gives product planners a bird’s eye view of the market and forms the basis for product positioning. Brief overview of the tests: NVH benchmarking: Up to 20 Locations inside the cabin. Effort measurement: Steering, Pedal and others. AC performance: Cooling gradient at various locations inside the cabin. Vehicle dynamics measurements Seat performance: Measurement of seat pressure map in various drive cycles and road profiles coupled with our in house tools for comfort and support ratings. Fuel Efficiency Testing: Development of duty cycles and measurement of real world fuel efficiency on a large number of cars at very high efficiency.

7. Automotive Product Development As more and more companies take up complicated product development activities, our simulation and testing capabilities are the perfect compliment for your in house teams. Please refer the subsequent slides to know how we can support in your next ambitious project. Your product knowledge Coupled with ASI engineering support Efficient Product Development with least Capex and lead time

8. The philosophy of approaching every problem with both simulation and testing methods simultaneously enables ASI to: Deliver more accurate results faster. Validate the solution through actual field testing. Simulation using advanced Software suite and field measured input for the simulation process Testing using our Data Acquisition system supported by advanced software tools for NVH and durability analysis Quick product development by harnessing CAE and testing techniques simultaneously Our Approach Testing enables engineers to give accurate inputs to simulation tools for reduced no of iterations and more realistic results. More accurate simulation enables faster products development with reduced number of prototypes.

9. Our role in overall development process Benchmarking Vehicle and sub-system level benchmarking of NVH, Fatigue and other properties for target setting. Support for more accurate FE Models Property measurement activities like Modal parameter extraction and Composite laminate ASTM testing etc. Test-CAE correlation FE model updation based on test data. Prototype Testing and validation Testing of prototypes against previously set targets. Gap estimation Troubleshooting Testing and simulation activities for noise and vibration control in existing vehicles or sub-systems. Field failure root cause identification and solution. Analysis of vibration behaviour of structural parts using CAE and testing tools for design modification for compatibility with specific engines/transmission/other operational inputs NVH Example on Next Slide
