Eliminate the Guess Work in Battery Modeling Selections System-level design engineers have a difficult task. They deal with challenging questions such as: What Lithium-ion cells work best for a particular application; How many cells should be placed in series and parallel; or What type of motor and drive technology should be used? They have to […]
The HVACR Industry is Evolving As we step into 2025, major trends in systems simulation are emerging. The heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) industry is seeing accelerated growth in the adoption of simulation throughout the design and development process. This industry is looking to further modernize, appeal to consumers, and demand energy-efficient, sustainable […]
The capabilities of simulation software appear to be endless (not really, but you know what I mean…) when it comes to modeling different systems and things that may not have been simulated before. This can be especially true when considering how model-based systems engineering (MBSE) has advanced in the past few decades from single-purpose tools […]
Unlocking the Potential of eVTOL Aircraft for Taxi Services: Advancing On-Demand Transportation Safely and Efficiently The world is rapidly advancing towards an integrated and accessible on-demand transportation network. Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) vehicles have emerged as the ideal solution for the near future, offering faster and more efficient travel options. However, ensuring the […]
How to use Simulation to Improve the Engine Development Process for Carbon Neutral Fuels The need for clean, renewable energy sources requires exploring carbon neutral fuels and their combustion behaviors. This is typically done using single-cylinder (SC) engines. The advantages of this process are to make quick hardware changes such as replacing the head or […]
Why Cabin Modelling? Efficient cabin modelling has become crucial for the new age battery electric vehicles (BEVs) as every bit of energy that can be conserved will help increase the range of a BEV. The goal of a design engineer is to achieve an optimal balance between passenger comfort and the energy consumption of the […]
There are various challenges faced by an automotive engineer while designing a robust and optimized accessory drive system. Most original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) rely on different suppliers for their engine belt(s) and accessories (e.g. water pumps, alternators, A/C compressors, etc.). This leads to challenges in obtaining a comprehensive set of input data to incorporate in […]
Incorporating Dynamic Metamodeling Simulation To save computational time, engineers are persistently trying to speed up physical models, and some situations absolutely require faster simulation speeds. These situations might include more advanced co-simulation tasks, performing model-based optimization on a slower physical model, or the need to have a surrogate model for XiL (X-in-the-Loop) applications or to […]
