LMS Offers Vehicle Energy Management Master Class November 10th – 12th, 2009

LMS extends an invitation to attend a Vehicle Energy Management Master Class November 10th – 12th at their North American Headquarters in Troy, MI. This event will be a 3-day technology and application training for automotive, trucks and military OEM and suppliers.

The Master Class on Vehicle Energy Management will provide a clear overview of the process to accurately simulate system-level vehicle energy management. State of the art system level simulation solutions will be utilized to demonstrate the capabilities to address the current and future challenges related to fuel economy and energy optimization for the automotive, trucks, off-highway and military industries throughout the complete design process of their products.

Topics to be discussed during the class include:

Analysis of components performance (actuators, heat exchangers, heat storage, etc.)

Analysis of subsystems performance (lubrication, cooling, exhaust, HVAC, etc.)

Analysis of subsystems interactions & integration within their real life environment

Integration of new technologies (Exhaust Heat Recovery, Regenerative Braking, etc.)

Trade-off studies for components, systems, architectures and control strategies

Critical attributes that can be analyzed include:

Fuel Economy

Pollutant Emissions

Global Energy Flow Distribution

Vehicle Performance (driveability, comfort, etc.)

Passenger Thermal Comfort

Throughout the manipulation of real-life demonstrators, the attendee will gain a strong insight on the scalability (from map-based components or subsystems up to full geometrical representation), productivity (accuracy, CPU times, energy flow chart post processing) and openness (integration of user codes, interfaces …) of the LMS solution.

Several vehicle configurations will be assessed in the class including classical internal combustion engines, mild hybrid (stop/start, controlled actuators …), full hybrid and full electric vehicles.

What will the attendee learn?

The Master Class is intended for vehicle and powertrain managers, engineers and their management working on components / subsystems performances, subsystems integration and assessment of innovative solutions. The Master Class will help them:

Translate those key points into virtual system simulation prototypes

Know how to identify unavailable parameters (calibration methods, optimization, ...)

Predict the impact of new solutions (additional heating strategies, energy recovery)

Globally understand how system simulation will accelerate their design process
