TESTING / CAE / EMV
CAE
By validating products and product features at an early stage, development periods are shortened and development costs reduced. Our CAE experts take over responsibility for the functional design of components, systems and complete vehicles.
- Our services in the simulation
- Rigidity, stability and misuse assessments
- Vibration and acoustics
- Operational strength and fatigue resistance
- Vehicle dynamics
- Passive vehicle safety (structural design, passenger protection, head bounce and pedestrian protection)
- Active vehicle safety (virtual representation of different test scenarios)
- Passenger safety (design of restraint systems)
- Flow simulations (aerodynamics, air conditioning, etc.)
- Heat inflow calculations
- Manufacturing simulations (injection molding, deep drawing...)
- Electrical engineering/electronics calculations (EMV, thermomechanics, cables, circuit boards...)
- Production of material cards together with our accredited testing laboratory
- Tool development for specific applications for reducing process times

Dimensional Management
Gap dimensions are a decisive quality feature with customers. EDAG dimensional management sets itself the challenge of 'permitting' large inividual component tolerance while at the same time complying with geometrical target specifications for gap dimensions. The advantage to you is obvious - the high, reproducible geometric quality of your products.
- Our services
- Definition, documentation and visualisation of geometric target specifications:
- Definition of reference point systems (RPS) and documentation
- Creation of clamping and fixing concepts
- Conducting three-dimensional tolerance calculations/simulations
- Rigid body simulation (rigid body analysis)
- Tolerance simulation taking component deformation into account
- Tolerance analyses to detect drivers for tolerance and for targeted product and process optimisation
- Visualisation of the tolerance variations
- Toleration of components (GD&T) in accordance with DIN ISO 1101 and ASME

Test Laboratories
Components come under heavy pressure during the useful life of the vehicle. We have the experience and a wide range of test equipment and facilities to guarantee functionality and durability.
The standards according to which we work can be found on the Certificates page under Quality Management - DIN EN ISO/EC 17025, where you will also find the procedure lists for flexible accreditation.
- Other main activities include
- Testing for components made of polymer materials
- Calculation of material properties and advice on materials
- Environment simulation and operational stability
- Aging, weathering and dust simulations
- Mechanical and electrical components
- Material card production for simulation applications
- Vehicle safety, bumper and sensor crashes
- Acoustic testing of vehicles and engines, NVH (vibration, transmission path and noise analyses)
- Testing of aggregate cooling and inspection of A/C components
- Function testing
- Prototype testing
- Development and validation of new testing methods
- Damage analysis

EDAG Zero Prototype Lab
The EDAG Zero Prototype Lab opens up a whole new chapter in automotive technology development: vehicles, their functions and driving dynamics can be comprehensively tested by humans before the physical vehicle is built The elimination of time-consuming and costly tests of physical prototypes not only leads to a shorter time-to-market, but also to a reduction in the CO2 footprint during development.
Test Systems
Own test facilities give you flexibility. Our experts offer you extensive services and experience in the concept, development, construction, assembly and maintenance of test benches. We take responsibility for the entire process from the analysis of the test activity through to turn-key installation.
- Our services
- Development & endurance test stands for electric drive systems and electric drive axles
- Test benches for traction battery packs, electric axis auxiliary drives (EOL tests)
- Component test bench for fuel cells
- Assembled media conditioning devices (including water, oil, water-glycol, R134a, R1234yf, CO2)
- Test equipment for media carring system components (AdBlue, water-glycol, fuel, etc.)
- Flow test benches, calibration system for gas sensors
- Pump test benches, bearing test stands
- Endurance test stands for: door/flap/lock/seat testing
- Front area measurement systems & automatic defrost analysis

Complete Vehicle Validation
The validation and certification process is one of the most important milestones in the process to create a new generation of vehicles. This is where the decision is made as to whether a vehicle, concept or prototype meets the criteria for SOP and complies with legal requirements.
With our expertise in complete vehicle development, we know how it's done.
- Our services
- We supervise customers' vehicle development projects, from the preparation of product specifications through to SOP.
- Target setting / Benchmark
- Homologation / Certification
- Type support / System and overall vehicle testing
- Test engineering / Component testing, validation
- Fatique strength
- Corrosion and Tightness
- Comfort / Acoustic / NVH attribute development
- Prototype management / Authorization for prototypes / -logistics
- Measurement and Test Equipment
- EDAG test catalogue, test procedures, Design Guidelines

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The increasing complexity of many vehicles is giving rise to increasing numbers of electric components, the electromagnetic fields of which could influence the way in which other components in the vehicle work. State-of-the-art testing methods will be used in our EMC center, in order to analyze entire vehicles (passenger vehicles, trucks) or individual components and their resilience to other electrical or electromagnetic interference factors.
