Understanding Vehicle Thermal Management Vehicle electrification across the transportation industry is being driven by demands for reducing emissions and increasing fuel economy. However, engineering these electrified vehicles comes with a new set of challenges for thermal management of the powertrain and cabin. In this blog I will discuss some of these new challenges for battery […]
Setting Up An Integrated Vehicle and Aftertreatment Simulation Ever wondered what kind of emissions your car produces when driving to work or your favorite restaurant? With GT-SUITE and a few hours of hard work, you can have your answer! Learn how do set-up such a simulation using our software as detailed in our paper published […]
What To Consider When Designing Thermal Management Systems in Electric Vehicles Thermal management system design in the electrification era requires a complex approach to ensure vehicle performance and customer satisfaction. Electric vehicle’s (EV) system design and controls will influence the range of the vehicle, cabin comfort, and performance, and it is important to use a […]
The HVACR Industry Is Evolving To Meet Climate Change Needs Recently our colleagues from Gamma Technologies (GT) attended the 50th Herrick Conferences at Purdue University. These conferences occur bi-annually and cover a span of areas that are important to the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) industry including: pumps and compressors, refrigeration and air […]
Learn how to predict battery lifetime and make confident battery warranty decisions by combining a minimal amount of available data with physics-based simulation software.
Vehicle Level Simulation is a rapidly expanding technique which most OEMs are exploring to help reduce testing cost and time. To be effective, these simulations must accurately represent the vehicle being simulated. This can be achieved in two steps, first by collecting the data required for modeling and feeding it into a simulation tool to […]
Electric Aircraft Are the Future The aviation industry has long imagined a future with electric aircraft. Development has started on smaller scales with aircraft such as electric vertical take-off and landing aircrafts (eVTOLs), short take-off and landing aircraft (e-STOLs), and others. According to a May 2022 study by Aviation Today, e-aviation has potential of […]
What is Sensitivity Analysis? Sensitivity analysis is the study of how uncertainty in a model output (or response) can be attributed to different sources of uncertainty in the model inputs (or factors). These analyses are powerful tools for modeling and simulation activities, as they allow the modeler to identify the most and least influential parameters […]
Evaluating Renewable Hydrogen Fuel With the increasing demands for fuel-efficient and low-to zero-emissions technologies in the automotive industry, renewable hydrogen fuel is regarded as a promising energy storage form for vehicles. Pure hydrogen combustion emits no greenhouse gas CO2, and noble gases can eliminate environmental pollutants such as NOx by replacing nitrogen. As a result, […]
Optimizing Power Converter Design through Simulation Optimal power converter design requires a fine balance between design efficiency and physical testing costs. Finding the right efficiency point can be expensive for companies — simply jumping from 98% to 99% efficiency could double the converter cost. In this blog, we’re going to explore the technical approaches power […]
