This webinar shows how a thermal model of a battery electric vehicle is developed and how a set of architecturally different design alternatives is automatically generated and simulated using a physics based tool.
Cooling system design is one of the current challenges in the electric vehicle domain, as battery ageing is highly sensitive to temperature. Many architecturally different design alternatives exist for this cooling system.
Simcenter Studio is a new cloud-based application that automatically creates known and new architectures based on an AI-based Generative Engineering approach. Those architectures are also automatically simulated to evaluate their relevant performance attributes.
This webinar shows how a thermal model of a battery electric vehicle is developed and how a set of architecturally different design alternatives is automatically generated and simulated using a physics based tool. The results of the simulations are then further ranked using machine learning to identify an ideal battery EV cooling architecture.
Key takeaways:
- A new Generative Engineering methodology enables the automatic generation of architecturally different design concepts
- By linking to domain-specific tools, the generated concepts can also be automatically evaluated
- This generative engineering methodology was used to perform a multi-attribute comparison of EV cooling system design alternatives
About the Speakers:
Dr. Johan Vanhuyse – Product Manager, Simcenter MBSE – Siemens Digital Industries Software
Johan works as a research and Product Manager at Siemens Digital Industries Software in Belgium. He worked on a PhD thesis on the generation and closed-loop evaluation of hybrid vehicle architectures in a collaboration between Siemens and KU Leuven. After graduating, he worked on making the methodologies co-developed during his PhD available to customers as part of Simcenter Studio. Currently he works as a Product Manager to further evolve the Simcenter Studio tool.
