Ansys Webinar ISO-26262 Compliant BMS and Vehicle Integration
ISO-26262 Compliant BMS and Vehicle Integration

A reliable battery design requires an effective battery management system (BMS) to maintain safe operation and protect against faults. Development of the BMS must adhere to stringent safety standards, including ISO26262 and AUTOSAR architecture. Utilizing a model-based development approach combined with functional safety analysis can streamline the BMS software development process. Additionally, the BMS must function seamlessly with the battery pack and entire vehicle for optimal performance and safety. Accurate physics-based models are crucial for validating the integration of software and hardware, ensuring the effectiveness of the BMS and overall vehicle performance.
