Improving electric vehicle (EV) efficiency involves a series of trade-offs, measured in kilowatt hours. How, exactly, will tweaks to foundational components, like inverters, motors, and gearboxes impact range? Simulation facilitates the evaluation of trade-offs that drives informed decision-making during development. It is in the understanding of this give and take among components, as well as systems and teams, that novel solutions are born. See how Ansys and AAM are working together to develop software capabilities that open new possibilities in automotive electrification.

FAQs

ConceptEV is a dedicated design and simulation platform for the concept design of electric vehicle (EV) powertrains. System and component design engineering teams can collaborate on a shared and democratized system simulations connected to requirements from the start of the design process.

Developing advanced electrical powertrains requires the collaboration of multi-disciplinary engineering teams. ConceptEV is a design and simulation platform that connects and enables various teams to perform trade studies and evaluate the implications of specific component design decisions or powertrain architecture against system-level requirements and targets. Engineers, both specialists and non-specialists, can work around a standard data set and model. ConceptEV is shareable (permission control) within the organization.

ConceptEV is exclusively used for EV powertrain designs and simulations. Extending this approach to other industries and applications is planned in future releases.

More comprehensive data-driven design space exploration in early phase, leading to better system design decisions, reduced iteration, and a faster time to market with more competitive products. ConceptEV can break down team silos and facilitate better collaboration amongst engineering teams and stakeholders involved in the development. Leading to reduced risks and an improved understanding throughout the organization.
