Hello, I am Julien Lagnier with Siemens PLM Software.
Today, we introduce you to our systems simulation solution for vehicle subsystems dynamics.
When it comes to vehicle dynamics, we see our customer facing various engineering issues.
The issues not only come from environmental and security regulations
but also from the customer expectations in terms of quality, comfort and driving pleasure.
OEMs and manufacturers have to integrate advanced active chassis systems and
at the same time overcome the development complexity and cost,
coming with the growing complexity of these systems.
To do so, engineering departments need to frontload as much as possible the validation of new architectures
It requires the implementation of virtual design and virtual validation,
thanks to model-based systems engineering approaches, and multi-domain simulation tools.
As the leading platform for model-based systems engineering,
the LMS Imagine.Lab platform, its LMS Amesim software and solutions for vehicle systems dynamics
enable to specify, to design and to validate the entire vehicle dynamics
as well as the chassis subsystems, and the detailed components.
This solution includes an open integration platform to model and simulate cars,
light trucks and off-highway vehicles.
This solution also include extensive physical modeling libraries and dedicated toolsets, to define
for instance, chassis axle characteristics, to define a mission, work profile and environment also.
You can also access ready to use templates and solution demonstrators
that will definitely improve your efficiency.
Globally, our solutions for vehicle system dynamics support several applications:
development of chassis subsystems, their integration in the full vehicle,
the on-road dynamics synthesis and also chassis control validation.
Firstly, our solutions allow you to design and optimize individual braking components, as well as
the complete hydraulic braking circuit.
It enables to assess dynamics, and understand physical phenomena.
It enables to compare different hydraulic architectures, to evaluate the braking distance
or to analyze the vehicle stability.
Moreover, our solutions enable you
to seamlessly handle hydraulic and pneumatic systems of all kind of vehicles.
Secondly, our solutions provide reliable and accurate models to design robust power steering systems.
It can examine the functionality and performances of any technology used
in electric or hydraulic power steering system
and test related electronic control units. It can optimize steering performances,
make tradeoff between technologies and identify critical parameters of the system.
Our solutions also enable you to size and analyze components of active anti-roll
and suspension systems
You will be able to determine a tradeoff between vehicle handling and comfort by, for instance,
improving damper design versus cavitation, modeling air spring systems,
analyzing the benefits between hydraulico-electric active anti-roll stabilizer technologies.
Finally, our solutions help you to simulate the full vehicle, its sensors
and include all these previous chassis actuators to assess and validate the global chassis control strategy.
You can explore functional architecture of the vehicle and its controls,
to optimize attributes like ride and handling, but you can also couple
the full vehicle with the powertrain components to balance these usual chassis attributes
with drivability and also fuel economy.
And this can be done from the early concept stage onwards.
Additionally, using an interface with Simulink, the solution enables you to handle
ride quality control strategies on detailed models as well as test on safety related electronics systems.
In conclusion, LMS Imagine.Lab will not only assess
all power interactions between chassis subsystems and the full vehicle
in a single environment, but it will also help you
reducing the number of tools while enhancing the design capabilities.
