Accelerate EV development across domains and platforms

Commonalities exist between architectures for different EV platforms, but figuring out exactly what can be carried over from one to the next can be prohibitively time-consuming. Connecting the electrical, electronic, mechanical, network, and software engineering teams in a collaborative virtual environment at the earliest stage of development enables you to engineer concepts quickly and reuse as many elements as possible from current and previous platforms. By integrating these designs and teams upfront, everyone works with the same information, requirements, and data to ensure the product is compliant and meets all targets. Additionally, even after the design is set, you can continue to assess whether those systems are working together throughout the development cycle without relying on physical prototypes and testing.

Maximize EV range, performance, and comfort with simulation

To develop the most robust ePowertrain and offer the complex features that customers want, you need the capability to optimize and simulate all models as one complete system. Within this system, you can balance attributes that often work against each other like range and thermal control. To continuously meet vehicle targets throughout development, you can ensure that an engineering change to one system doesn’t unintentionally affect another. And you can design flexible, correct by construction systems that can be leveraged to accelerate the development of future platforms.

Optimize EV manufacturing processes earlier

Electric vehicle engineering relies on using new, lightweight materials to maximize performance. By planning manufacturing processes virtually alongside product development, you can be confident that new operations will be launched successfully. Then, after production has started, a feedback loop of information from your assembly line to controls enables you to use technologies like the industrial internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) to maximize throughput, ensure quality, and adjust quickly for material and engineering changes.
