Addressing engineering challenges driven by ecology trends and changing consumer needs
Under pressure from legislation as well as customer buying behavior, automotive OEMs and suppliers are currently devising solutions to improve CO2 and emission levels as well as fuel economy. However, consumers want it all: improved fuel economy, lower CO2 emission levels and cars that are fun to drive as well as safe and ever cheaper. Translated to vehicle engineering targets, this means that seemingly conflicting engineering challenges need to be reconciled to manufacture the cars that will determine the world’s future mobility. And time is essential: being early on the market is a major success factor.
Today, LMS proposes ‘
Vehicle Energy Management’, a proven solution that remedies the problem of integrating green engineering into the current development process while continuing to improve the car’s drivability and performance. LMS ‘Vehicle Energy Management’ methodology is designed to be integrated into the existing vehicle development process and combines mechanical, thermal, electrical, and control engineering in one software environment.
LMS unites the very best of its engineering expertise, deployment experience and software platform to provide a fully fl edged solution for our automotive customers. Every customer need is different as is each vehicle development process is unique. That know-how has inspired LMS to proactively bring together a package which will make the Vehicle Energy Management solution easy to implement.
The LMS Vehicle Energy Management solution offers
- A full implementation and deployment of the Vehicle Energy Management process at the customer
- A single integrated platform, LMS Imagine.lab AMESim, enabling multi-physics modeling applications
- Balancing vehicle energy performances with drivability and thermal comfort
- Across vehicle engineering levels: from concept to detailed engineering and from component to full vehicle
- Compatible with any vehicle architecture – ICE, hybrid, mild hybrid, electric
- Managing the growing complexity of control and electronic systems
- Reduction of time to market and development costs by frontloading design decisions
