As inconspicuous as the exterior of your washing machine may seem to you, its inner workings are just as complex. Hardly any other household appliance has such a large number of technical components that work together in perfect harmony to ensure that your laundry is cleaned reliably and quietly. However, this poses an enormous challenge for product development, particularly due to the strong vibrations that occur during the spin cycle, for example, which affect the entire structure.
The manufacturer Miele is known worldwide for particularly high-quality and quiet washing machines. When developing such a high-end washing machine, long development cycles and numerous test runs with several physical prototypes are not uncommon. Novicos developed a virtual prototype for Miele washing machines in order to precisely predict the sound emission.
