Virtual prototyping in automotive industry – A view from multi-physical system simulation
Nowadays physical prototypes are replaced by digital twins wherever possible. The key factors are the high quality of the digital twin and the increasing ease of use of the corresponding software. Due to actual trends like electrification and heterogenous propulsion concepts, the number of systems in a vehicle is increasing, yielding more complexity in the overall system. That must be coped with. Consequently, the challenges in the development of future vehicles do not only lie in the design of the powertrain as individual component but in the assessment of the complete vehicle including the comfort of the passengers. This requires on the one hand interdisciplinary knowledge, but on the other hand also a clear strategy that enables a working framework across disciplines.
In this talk we show dedicated use cases from multi-physical system simulation, where specialized mathematical frameworks can be utilized to achieve those goals. Therein the focus is not only on the development of performant simulation tools for the individual components, but also on a stable interaction within multi-physical systems.
