The development of electric vehicles is faced with many challenges. Compressed vehicle development timelines, the use of expensive rare earth materials and the urgent need to innovate are forcing an out-of-the-box development process. Vehicle manufacturers are adapting to all these challenges by developing modular designs, assessing alternate technologies and sharing technologies across vehicle platforms.

In this demonstration, @SK showcases a MODSIM-powered development process where a matured electric drive design on a high-performance vehicle is being re-used to develop an electric drive for a mass-market vehicle with new requirements.

▶Vehicle manufacturers are racing to meet government regulations to ban the sale of IC engine-powered vehicles

▶Digital electric drive development is key to meeting compressed development cycles with lean teams

▶Maturing the electric drive technology that is governed by complex multi-physics interaction requires a development process that connects design with engineering, where multi-physics performance metrics can be assessed. 

▶Connecting Design (Modeling) and Engineering (Simulation) will empower electric drive developers to innovate and develop sustainable technologies
