Abstract:

Automotive systems (e.g. xDomain Cluster, Multimedia, Connectivity Systems, HPC, etc.) are highly complex systems with a large variety of mechanical and electrical components and assemblies, LED display modules, frame brackets or covers, complex PCBs, axial and radial fans, connectors, heat sinks or tuner modules to name a few.

The design of these automotive systems has to fulfill requirements from mechanical stability, vibration and shock load specifications and thermal management to electromagnetic compliance and acoustic requirements if a fan is employed. It requires the interaction of mechanical, electrical and software engineers in order to achieve a system solution, hence a multi-disciplinary and multi-domain design and optimization problem. Up-front simulations enable us to test and modify system and components as virtual prototypes before performing physical tests and building real prototypes.
In this presentation, we address simulation as an integrated part of our design process. We will focus first on typical tasks and problems involved in the design of automotive systems and second on the challenges of tackling the conflict between a thermally feasible solution and acoustic requirements.
