The operating temperature of Li-ion batteries used in modern electric vehicles should be maintained within an allowable range to avoid thermal runaway and degradation. Poor thermal management affects the charging and discharging power, cycle life, cell balancing, capacity and fast charging capability of the battery pack. Hence, a thermal management system is needed in order to enhance the performance and to extend the life cycle of the battery pack. Altair’s comprehensive CFD solutions provides the complete thermal management using both 3D and 1D frameworks using Altair’s AcuSolve and GE FlowSimulator respectively. Detailed analysis of active and passive cooling methods and, the effective combination of both is in focus. The study and optimization of cooling module design strategy such as coolant type, direct contact or jacket cooling, serial or parallel cooling , module shape or dimensions, coolant flow rate combined with cell characteristics and driving cycles, etc are the key areas of work. The BTMS is of utmost importance to EV/HEV. The webinar focuses on the overview of Altair’s thermal solutions and how the software AcuSolve and FlowSimulator plays a very important role in providing all-round BTMS solution.

The key element of an electric vehicle (EV) is the battery and batteries are known to produce heat during their charge-discharge cycle. An efficient thermal management system (TMS) is of paramount importance. The battery TMS affects the cost, life, and range of the EV. A battery TMS study or an EV TMS study involves the use of thermal and fluid physics and Altair’s AcuSolve (Computational Fluid Dynamics based Simulation Technology), was used to carry out this study. The importance of finding new methods for effectively and accurately designing TMS that control temperature and optimize the performance of Li-ion batteries. This can be used to study and optimize the Battery Thermal Management System and other Thermal Management requirements arising in an electric vehicle which involves both active and passive cooling. A similar issue of heat (unwanted) exists in Motors as well, in this, we shall cover the Multiphysics simulation of Motors which shall include both electromagnetics and CFD Thermal studies of both air and liquid coolant motors.

Replacement of traditional combustion engines with an electric powertrain, bring electro-mechanical induced tonal and high-frequency whine noise. In addition, tire and aerodynamic turbulent noise become more prominent in the absence of a standard Internal Combustion Engine. Also, the perceived sound quality imposes a new set of challenges. This leads to completely new methods of NVH refinement, keeping the decades of research aside. As it is important to address these issues at the design and development stage, adopting the new simulation techniques to manage future NVH challenges in e-Mobility is of the prime challenge to the traditional NVH engineers. In this webinar, we shall discuss some of those key NVH challenges specific to electric vehicles and appropriate simulation processes to develop countermeasures.

Leveraging Altair's CFD and structural analysis solvers, SimLab now offers a streamlined workflow that enables pre-, solver, and post-processing for thermal FSI within a single interface. The webinar will cover extraction of fluid surfaces to build CFD domains from solid bodies, defining loads and constraints, solver setting for conjugate heat transfer (CHT) and computing deflections and thermal stresses and post-processing structural and thermal-flow results.

The webinar will begin by presenting FluiDyna GmbH and by giving a short introduction to the nanoFluidX (nFX) code. After that the attendees will get a more detailed description of the work flow, emphasizing the ultra-simple pre-processing capabilities of the HyperMesh 14.0.110 and upcoming SimLab 14.2, which allow particle generation with literally three clicks per element. Some details about the solver will also be presented, particularly pointing out the speed up the customer potentially gains in turn-around time for oiling simulations by using nFX on GPU’s. We shall also present the new ParaView 5.0.1 with special SPH features, as well as FieldView version (which should show up by the webinar). Finally, summary and licensing details will be provided for nFX.

Electromagnetic phenomenon may induce undesired effects such as heat or vibrations. To predict and correct them by simulation, it is necessary to couple all phenomenon. Altair HyperWorks software suite is a perfect solution for this and in this webinar, two use cases will be demonstrated, where Flux is coupled with OptiStruct and AcuSolve.

This webinar covers the complete fail-safe optimization process of a wing rib starting with the search of a new and more efficient design to the calculation of optimum dimensions.

Altair’s AcuSolve CFD solver is capable of simulating complex multiphysics phenomenon including Heat Transfer-CFD coupling. In this webinar, two use cases are presented, using two very different calculation approaches.

Altair’s HyperWorks software suite offers a wide variety of solvers able to simulate complex physical phenomenon, including multiphysics. Therefore, complex FSI applications can be solved, such as ditching or aeroelasticity, as will be shown in the two use cases presented in this 40 minute webinar. Use Case #1: Ditching Simulations with RADIOSS Ditching simulations may be very complex to simulate as they involve a large domain of fluid, complex fluid flow and potentially highly non-linear structural behavior involving buckling and failures. The purpose of the presentation is to show the capacities of the transient dynamic explicit code RADIOSS part of Altair’s HyperWorks for such simulations, featuring the ALE approach, a CEL interface to couple structure and fluid, efficient algorithms such as multidomain to speed up calculation applied on both experimental and full vehicle models. Use Case #2: Winglet Optimization Winglets are intended to reduce fixed-wing aircraft’s drag by partial recovery of the tip vortex energy but care must be taken as potential problems such as flutter and structural considerations may negate aerodynamic improvements. Altair’s HyperStudy software is a tool of choice to design and optimize the winglet therefore improving the aircraft performances. To achieve these results, a process was designed by coupling OptiStruct and AcuSolve to calculate aerodynamic and structural performances. The coupling was then encapsulated in HyperStudy to optimize the design.
