Abstract

The race to develop high quality, long range electric vehicle is intensifying by the day. Automakers and Suppliers are racing to develop new technologies to differentiate themselves from their competitors and to insulate themselves from disruptions caused by global supply chain, material procurement issues and sustainability considerations. Optimal usage of material and human resources are critical now than in the past.  The adoption of simulation driven development  can be not only vital to overcome this challenge but also the most viable solution to innovation and compressed time-to-market demands. Here, seamless connections between design and engineering for multiphysics, and multi-objective performance targets are critically important to meet the demands faced by the industry. In this webinar, the leverage of CAD-CAE connectivity is highlighted for developing a new electric drive system or re-using one from an existing vehicle program. The key outset is the creation of a modular, fully-parametric, simulation-friendly electric drive model. It aims at exploring untouched design possibilities and testing every possible scenarios in a more affordable time frame.  Such a process can also help prevent valuable engineering resources from being wasted between programs and design iterations or reduce the workload of the lean teams by re-using proven technologies. A robust, validated simulation methodology will lend itself for a compressed, fast paced vehicle development program. Four key workflows that are crucial for electric drive performance are included in a case study.
