In addition to performing Virtual prototyping, MVP also offers a project management service from initial proposal writing through to final results delivery. MVP has the ability to coordinate different fields of CAE and test in order to deliver large turnkey projects. The projects can range from full vehicle analysis and test programs through to software interface development projects. An example of such a project is given below: MVP director Neil McGowan (formerly of MDI) was the project manager:   ADAMS/Car was sold to Toyota Motor Company in Japan. Customer specific suspension and full vehicle analyses together with corresponding output were required. The project was managed from the UK MDI office (now MSC) and was staffed with fifteen engineers from MDI’s international pool of resource. Neil McGowan spent one week in Japan interviewing Toyota chassis engineers in order to obtain their requirements for ADAMS/Car - Toyota. An extensive proposal was prepared based on input from the interviews. A custom version of ADAMS/Car was created in a six-month project. During the project, Neil McGowan made further visits to Japan in order to present completed work and finalise project details. A similar exercise was performed for Rover Cars in the UK. MVP has the capability to project manage large vehicle design, test and analysis projects. Vehicle ride and handling development, CAD and Finite Element analysis capabilities are realised through close liaisons with Richard Hurdwell Engineering, SJO Engineering Services and KJ Analysis.
