[CATIA] Systems Cooling Library

 

Develop cooling systems and dimension components, dedicated to batteries and electric drives and electronic thermal management

The Modelica based Systems Cooling Library supports the development of the thermal management system, especially for batteries cells, electrical drives and powertrain. The ease of component parameterization as well as the use of standard connectors helps to build up circuit models fast and fully compatible to the Modelica Standard Library. The library has been designed to ideally complete the Battery, the Electrified Powertrain and the Brushless DC libraries in order to optimize the thermal management of the complete electrical system. It includes key components and single phase media models including incompressible liquid fluids. These media offer significant simulation performances, to quickly asses the behavior of the complete system.
