Challenges of Electrification with Engineering Simulation and Test

Learn the latest technologies used for EV and AV performance engineering

Join us for a 2-day physical seminar event full of technical briefing sessions on the latest Simulation & Test based solutions that apply to Vehicle Electrification. The event will be held at the new Siemens event space inside the LIFT facility in the Corktown neighborhood of Detroit and includes a guided tour.

Lunch is provided and there is no cost to attend. The event kicks off at 9:00 am EST, but plan to arrive early by 8:30 am as this is a government facility with a registration procedure.

Learning Points:

  • Love ePowertrain? We have entire tracks on eMotors, battery systems, NVH, Power Electronics and Vehicle thermal management.
  • Learn about cutting-edge Autonomous Vehicle Sensor modeling solutions experience the new AV Driving Simulator!
  • Walking tours will be provided of the LIFT facility, where you can engage with our experts around an electronics manufacturing exhibit.

Agenda

Track 1: Electric Motor Development

Nov 1st, 9am - 4pm EST

Five sessions spanning a range of topics on electric motors such as architectural selection, sizing, detailed electromagnetic design and analysis, and how to perform correlations on rotors and stators.

Track 2: Battery System Development

Nov 1st, 9am - 4pm EST

Five sessions spanning a range of topics on battery system development, such as development processes, thermal runaway predictive analyses, Leveraging Reduced Order Models of batteries, doing performance attribute balancing, and how to design and validate a Battery Management System (BMS).

Track 3: Vehicle Thermal Management Strategies and EV Power Electronics Testing and Simulation

Nov 2nd, 9:15 am - 4:00pm EST

Sessions begin with an MBSE approach to EVs, with a focus on architectural selection of potential EV cooling systems. Second half of the track shifts to a focus on Power Electronics thermal assessment, which includes a review of a novel Physical measurement system dedicated for this, and how it feeds into the digital thread to thermal/flow simulation models.

Track 4: EV NVH Methods and Autonomous Vehicle algorithm development and testing.

Nov 2nd, 9:15 am - 4:00pm EST

Track begins with sessions on NVH testing and simulation methods tailored for EVs. We’ll highlight how to take measurements in the presence of electromagnetic fields, how to do road noise assessments, Sound Quality Metrics, and the latest digital modeling approaches for eDrive NVH. Second half of the track shifts to a focus on Autonomous Vehicle development, which includes a review of advanced Sensor modeling, and a live demonstration of an on-site driving simulator w/ real-time test bench.
