A woman is looking at the Simcenter Amesim software on a couple of screens.

Simcenter

HVAC and vehicle cabin comfort simulation

Assess thermal comfort and optimize air conditioning (AC) systems.

Maximize vehicle cabin thermal comfort

Study and optimize the design of air conditioning loops or heat-pump systems, and thermal interactions with the cooling system and the cabin or vehicle interior. With Simcenter Amesim, you can evaluate and control the cabin cool down or heating processes. You can also study the integration of additional heaters and their influence on passenger thermal comfort. This is particularly relevant in the context of high-efficiency engines or electric vehicles with low thermal losses.

You can accurately size components (heater core, evaporators, ducts, fans/blowers), test control strategies (AC compressor displacement, recycling modes, automatic AC control, and more) and analyze innovative air conditioning system architectures. You can check the impact of exterior conditions and technological choices on air temperature and humidity within the cabin, including standard indicators for human thermal comfort sensation. Different analysis capabilities help you study the behavior of the entire system for various climate control strategies and driving cycles under specific operating conditions.

HVAC and vehicle cabin comfort simulation capabilities

Passenger thermal comfort

Analyze thermal interactions between air conditioning loops or heat pump systems, the cooling system, additional heaters, cabin or vehicle interior, and control the cabin cool down or heating processes.

With Simcenter Amesim, you can check the impact of exterior conditions and technological choices on the air temperature and humidity within the cabin and assess human thermal comfort sensation.

Simcenter Amesim comes with a set of dedicated libraries and tools to check the impact of exterior conditions and technological choices on the air temperature and humidity within the cabin, and assess human thermal comfort sensation.

Refrigerant loop

Study and optimize the design of air conditioning and heat pump systems. Simcenter Amesim comes with a set of dedicated libraries and tools to size components and predict and optimize system performance. You can develop and test control strategies and study the impact of the system on overall vehicle thermal management. You can then verify that the system provides optimal passenger comfort, regardless of operating conditions.
