Ricardo experts in attribute development

Ricardo experts practice attribute-led engineering for clients throughout the product development lifecycle, adding value and creating a strong link between users, systems, and components. Structured Computer Aided Engineering processes, virtual validation, and model-based development help reduce time and cost.

As vehicle architecture and systems become more complex, businesses require solutions that offer seamless integration. Our experts work with clients to understand their unique attribute requirements, evaluate architectures, and optimise trade-offs, using analysis to minimise development timescales.

Why Ricardo for attribute development

Computer Aided Engineering

Ricardo uses Computer Aided Engineering and software solutions, to simulate performance to improve product design and assist in the resolution of engineering problems for a wide range of automotive and industrial uses.

Virtual validation

Ricardo engineers use bespoke virtual validation processes. including CAD and CAE, to implement 3D versions of products that can be tested and approved. Analysis supports clients to virtually prove their design concepts, through the simulation of multiple environments.

Model-Based Development (MBD)

As hybrid and electric vehicle systems become increasingly more complex, Ricardo’s expertise in model-based development supports clients across several sectors to simulate complex control processes, reducing product development time and cost.

Attribute Testing Capability

Ricardo have specialist testing and data analysis capability in Attribute engineering, comprising NVH, thermal systems, air flow, shift quality and emissions
