Blocked forces are rapidly gaining popularity as the industry-standard method for OEMs and suppliers to exchange component data for virtual integration and NVH prediction. Yet, conventional measurement techniques remain slow and expensive to scale across component variants, hindering industry adoption. This session introduces automated component model extraction (AutoCMX): a fully automatic solution for measuring blocked forces compliant with ISO 20270. AutoCMX reduces typical measurement time from days to minutes and eliminates human variability, delivering accurate and repeatable results at the press of a button — enabling scalable characterization of component variants for virtual prototyping and immersive auralization in NVH simulators.

• Where the bottlenecks in current industry practices for measuring blocked forces are
• How blocked forces measurements can be automated to deliver faster and operator-independent results
• How blocked forces can be used to digitalize the NVH development process using (hybrid) virtual prototypes and immersive NVH simulators
