Vehicle Electrification Simulation & Design Software

Electrification is Changing the Way We Move

The industry is seeing history-setting changes as the importance of efficient, environmentally friendly transportation increases. These changes, often motivated by strict government regulations and growing consumer awareness, necessitate radical innovation across the mobility ecosystem to be successful.

Market leaders who both successfully change the way we move and decrease environmental impact will be defined by the speed and efficacy of innovation. Companies that deliver those innovations will reap big benefits, but it all depends on making the right technology decisions now.

In order to develop electrified powertrain 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.

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.
