Product Highlights

Vehicle parameters displayed in a table in the Virtual Vehicle Composer app.

Virtual Vehicle Composer

Interactively parameterize, configure, and build a virtual vehicle for fuel economy, EV range, energy management, and performance analyses.

Plots showing motor torque and efficiency characteristics overlayed onto the data calibration tab in the Virtual Vehicle Composer app.

Engine and Motor Resize Workflows

­Use predefined workflows in the Virtual Vehicle Composer app for resizing engines and mapped motors based on high-level specifications such as maximum power. Associated controllers are automatically recalibrated for the resized component.

Generate Deep Learning Component Models

Generate reduced-order models (ROM) using dynamic deep learning networks for vehicle components, including engines or motors, for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing and control design activities.

Virtual Calibration

Calibrate controllers and tune plant model parameters for components including engines, turbochargers, and motors before integrating them with your system-level vehicle model.

HIL and Cloud Support

­Capture important physical effects while achieving real-time execution using Simulink Real-Time. Deploy to the cloud to add computing power for large-scale simulation studies.
