Simulation permits fuel-consumption analysis
-- Test & Measurement World, 9/4/2008 1:43:00 PM
IPG Automotive and AVL have interfaced the AVL Cruise powertrain simulation tool with the IPG CarMaker driving dynamics simulation platform. The companies say that the integration of the two products enables users to perform a full fuel-consumption analysis by simulating the multidimensional losses of individual vehicle components in realistic driving situations.
The products permit lifelike driving maneuvers for establishing a balance sheet of the power loss for all subsystems like suspension, steering, brakes, tires, masses, and aerodynamics, as well as the motor, gearbox, and battery. The system detects how the components interact, allowing engineers to adjust powertrain systems as well as driving dynamics systems relative to one another in the complete vehicle, be it in longitudinal, transversal or vertical dynamics cycles. The CarMaker/CRUISE combination is suitable for office applications as well as for hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HIL) on test benches, according to the companies.
