Vehicle Electrification Simulation & Design Software

Electrification is Changing the Way We Move

Transportation drives the global economy. It’s at the heart of both business and pleasure. With the world's population nearing 8 billion, all that travel adds up. And it’s taking a toll on the planet.

Going forward, we need to find mobility solutions with a lower environmental impact. Increasingly strict government regulations in most countries, coupled with growing consumer awareness, are creating an unprecedented demand for efficient, environmentally friendly transportation.

But rapidly increasing mobility while decreasing environmental impact isn't easy. The changes demanded by the transportation market necessitate radical innovation to be successful. Companies that deliver those innovations will reap big benefits, but it all depends on making the right technology decisions now. Simulation is the key to understanding those decisions and realizing the benefits of electrification, such as:

Battery Simulation

Electrification is Racing Ahead, but Innovation Poses Challenges

Autonomous Vehicle Charging

Cost Reduction

Batteries are one of the primary costs inflating the price of electric vehicles.

More Efficient Drivetrains

Electric vehicle drivetrains currently suffer as much as 20% energy loss. EVs must become more efficient to succeed.

Range & Payload Improvement

Concerns about speed and availability of charging infrastructure limit consumer EV adoption. Electric aircraft are limited by payload maximums.

Improved Safety & Security

Electric vehicles require increased software to manage critical functions and battery systems. Proofing EVs against cyberattack is crucial.

Applications

The extraordinary design challenges posed by mobility electrification require equally extraordinary solutions. Simulation is the only way to efficiently address the design demands that will define a successful race to market. Electric mobility leaders are already reporting on the benefits of electric vehicle simulation software and its empowering effect on the design process.

Efficiently transporting goods drives the global economy. People need to move for business and pleasure. With the global population expected to swell to 10 billion people by 2050, these forces are combining to cause an exponential increase in mobility.

At the same time, the planet needs to heal. Governments and consumers increasingly connect the ways mobility impacts the environment and are demanding change. Electric vehicles – whether traversing land, sea, or air – offer the potential to solve this dichotomy of rapidly increasing mobility while simultaneously reducing environmental impact.

Electric Vehicles are Taking Off: Don’t Get Left Behind

Market leaders in the electrification revolution will be defined by the speed and efficacy of their innovations. To produce EVs that meet the market’s expectations for cost and performance, you’ll need simulation: the most efficient, cost-effective way to change the way we move.
