simulation, design & analysis

Integral Powertrain hybrid group’s virtual-development systems are a comprehensive toolset for rapid hybrid systems development.

Our teams employ a wide range of both industry standard and IP’s in-house toolsets, developed over the past ten years to achieve enhanced accuracy and reduce risk and development time.

AID-EM - automated intelligent design for e-machines

As well as providing a conventional standalone analysis function, IP’s design and analysis systems are fully integrated into Automated Intelligent Design system for e-machine (AID-EM) development, a unique high-speed parametric design and engineering package for rapid design and prototyping functions. With AID-EM, IP project teams are able to deploy advanced motor solutions, fully tailored to customer package, performance and cost requirements, at a fraction of the cost and timing of conventional approaches and with greatly reduced programme risk.

powertrain concept simulation

IP’s proven physically based analysis system for rapid architecture and specification comparisons. Typical project applications range from the specification of a micro-hybrid to complete powertrain product lines for strategic planning.

  • Performance, affordability, fuel consumption & energy flow
  • High level sub-system inputs (ie. e-machine / e-storage specifications)
  • High level EMS/control-strategy definition
  • Rule-based sub-system cost / weight / package comparisons
  • Duty-cycle dependence
  • Battery cycling & life estimation
