Improving the ESL using Complete Vehicle Correlation In the previous webinar, the development of an ESL has been shown based on a complete vehicle simulation. In order to validate this new approach, a comprehensive correlation work has been performed. Using the dynamic distortion in all closure body openings as correlation criteria offer a unique possibility to increase the understanding of the load from both the engine and the wheel suspension. This webinar presents this correlation where a test vehicle is driven on different test tracks both in reality and virtually. Presenter: Jens Weber | CAE Engineer, CEVT

Two and Three Wheeler companies be it existing OEMs, new EV start-ups or others serving this segment want to shorten the product development time and get to market faster. Designing a new two/three wheeled vehicle addressing refined customer expectations requires performance to be at par with established norms when it comes to vehicle ride, handling, and durability. To address this need Altair developed a New Unified solution for simulating two and three wheeled vehicles as a part of the HyperWorks 2020 release. The solution is aimed at companies designing and manufacturing two and three wheeled vehicles with IC or Electric engines. The solution is beneficial to both, leaning and non-leaning vehicles and helps engineers predict vehicle dynamics & control, durability and ride and comfort of two and three wheeled vehicles.

ESL Development Based on Simulation - Application example The body stiffness has a major impact on the Squeak & Rattle performance of a car. Since the body structure of electrical/autonomous cars will differ clearly from traditional bodies, an enhanced requirement is needed to limit the distortion in the closure openings. This webinar presents a new approach of defining a requirement based on closure deformations using an equivalent static load (ESL), which considers both the reduction from a complete vehicle to a BIG and from a dynamic load to a static load. In addition, an example is shown how ESL can be used as input for body optimization. Presenter: Viktor Jonsson | CAE Engineer (Consultant), CEVT

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.

Nowadays, it is more and more challenging to design an e-motor. Many constraints have to be fulfilled, including maximizing power using minimal size, considering thermal constraints, material and production costs, and of course reducing weight. In order to meet these constraints, a multifaceted solution is needed, leveraging physics tools in combination with optimization methods. This webinar will introduce Altair's e-motor design and optimization solutions in a step by step process. We will discuss pre-design, magnetic computation and thermal analysis and show how optimization methods can help to optimize weight and cost at each step of the process (especially the weight of magnets) . We’ll demonstrate how Design Of Experiments (DOEs) allows designers to run different types of optimization very quickly, which enables informed decisions at different stage of the design cycle.

Introducing electric traction in automotive brings new challenges for the design of electric machines. Nowadays designers have to consider increasing constraints like efficiency, temperature, weight, compactness, cost but also stricter regulations, while reducing time to market. Fortunatly, Altair proposes disruptive methodologies to make relevant choices in the early stage of the design, based on numerical simulation and optimization techniques. Once the machine has been selected and designed in Altair FluxTM this webinar covers how an electric motor design's performance is evaluated and maximized considering its global efficiency along the whole driving cycle. The next design challenge is to get an accurate estimation of the losses, which becomes more and more strategic in the design process in order to accelerated speed to market with balanced design and confidence. This estimation is also a key issue of thermal design. Therefore, the study of losses (in particular non-conventional losses) is crucial. Two methods are proposed to take the current wave form into account: by using an equivalent circuit model in Altair ActivateTM system modelling software, or by representing the PWM in Flux circuit context.

At Elaphe, the engineers have been facing the NVH challenges from the very beginning. The topology of this electric motor, which on the one hand enables the team to use the otherwise empty space inside the wheel, can on the other hand, result in some new and unexplored NVH challenges. The experience over the years has proven that NVH is a bottleneck in the design cycle of Elaphe's motors and this was the main motivation for a more automated and more user-friendly NVH simulation workflow. Within the NVH, noise radiation was the area Elaphe was most interested in.

Light-weight, low cost, compact, high efficiency are some of the many objectives and constraints that have to be considered when designing a rotating machine. To meet these various challenges it is necessary to take into account several physical aspects: - electromagnetic - structural - thermal This presentation shows how Altair HyperStudy can involve several Altair solvers to consider different requirements into a single optimization and will be illustrated through various examples.

Because of always more compact and high efficiency systems, temperature is a critical constraint in electric machine design. Depending on the design stage, different levels of modeling can be proposed: - 1D for fast pre-design, to - full 3D CFD models for the validation stage. This presentation shows, through a complete example how the Altair platform for innovation helps machine designers to manage temperature distribution and evolution.

In the early stage of the design of an electric machine, it is key to assess its potential in terms of global energy efficiency when submitted to specific duty cycles. This presentation will show how: - FluxMotor is able to extract efficiency maps in a very fast way. - FluxMotor can be coupled to Altair HyperStudy for design exploration and optimization studies, considering the efficiency over duty cycles as an objective function to be maximized.

Altair Flux is a leading finite element simulation software for electromagnetic modeling. Used for more than 35 years in industry worldwide, and based on the most advanced numerical techniques, Flux has become a reference for the high accuracy it delivers. Altair also recently introduced Altair FluxMotor, a new tool for the pre-design of electric machines. In a very intuitive interface, it allows defining a machine from templates, creating its winding, and characterizing its performance in a few clicks. In this webinar, discover all the new features in the latest versions of Flux and FluxMotor.

The electric motor design process can be long and tedious. Modern design tools enables designers to quickly evaluate and compare machine techinical-economic potential. Discover how FluxMotor can radically change the way machines are designed, through each stage and be able to use standard or customized parts, add windings easily and quickly attribute materials before computing its performance.

Flux is now fully part of HyperWorks and thanks to our flexible HyperWorks Units, users are now able to access even more tools that will help you to save time in your designs and enable powerful simulations. Flux embeds its own pre-preprocessing tools but designers sometimes need to deal with complex 3D geometries generated by their CAD team.
