Discover the Ease of Virtually Validating Your Crankshaft Lubrication Concept
The oil distribution in the crankcase is an extremely challenging simulation topic. This is mainly due to the complexity of the geometry and the multi-body dynamics of the crank drive. Under certain driving conditions, the oil behavior in the oil sump leads to problems in supplying the oil pump. This can even lead to severe engine damage as a result of a lack of supply to the oil system. With the help of the SPH simulation tool PreonLab engineers can now simulate the oil distribution in the crankcase like never before. Key Topics and Takeaways
  • Learn about specific use cases and easy model set up
  • Discover the ease of rigid body dynamic modeling
  • Advanced PreonLab users will be presented new exciting features. With the newly released version 4.3, both the modeling of rigid body dynamics and the initialization of the fluid volume have been significantly simplified
  • Participate in a Live Q&A session with Jens Cornelis, Founder and Managing Director of FIFTY2 Technology GmbH

Wie können Entscheidungen über die Entwicklungseffizienz für ein wettbewerbsfähiges Fahrzeugportfolio getroffen werden?
Die Systemkomplexität aufgrund der hohen Anzahl von Varianten und Kombinationen von Technologien sowie der erweiterte Testaufwand zur Einhaltung der Emissionsgesetzgebung und der autonomen Fahrsicherheitsmaßnahmen führen zu einer immensen Anzahl von Testaufgaben. Die daraus resultierende Testlücke kann nur durch die Betrachtung des gesamten Entwicklungsprozesses und das Hinzufügen neuer Testansätze geschlossen werden. Die Veränderung des Entwicklungsprozesses durch die Anwendung von Simulation und die Nutzung von Frontloading für Validierung und Kalibrierung sowie Effizienzprogramme für Labormanagement und -betrieb wirken sich direkt auf die Planung der zukünftigen Investitionen in Simulations- und Testeinrichtungen aus. In diesem Entscheidungsdreieck von
  • Auswahl eines wettbewerbsfähigen Produktportfolios,
  • Anwendung eines effizienten Entwicklungsprozesses und
  • Realisierung einer effizienten Simulations- und Testfabrik
spielt die Digitalisierung eine Schlüsselrolle. Sie ermöglicht die Interoperabilität innerhalb des Entwicklungsprozesses, indem sie die notwendigen Daten wie funktionale Anforderungen, Simulationsmodelle und Parameter für den funktionalen Prototyp, Testaufträge und Ergebnisse jederzeit verfügbar macht. In diesem Webinar diskutiert Engelbert Loibner, Teamleiter Business Development & Marketing Integrated and Open Development Platform, einen umfassenden Ansatz zur Unterstützung der richtigen Entscheidungsfindung für die anspruchsvollen Fragestellungen in der Automobilindustrie:
  • Welches Fahrzeugportfolio sollte entwickelt werden?
  • Wie sollten Fahrzeuge effizient entwickelt werden?
  • Wie lassen sich Kosten in der Testeinrichtung reduzieren?
  • Und wie wird die Digitalisierung den Entwicklungsprozess verbessern?

Digitalisierung des Fahrzeugentwicklungsprozesses – wie geht es weiter?
Es wird immer schwieriger, die enorme Komplexität zu beherrschen, die mit der Fahrzeugentwicklung verbunden ist. Sich lediglich auf heterogene Simulationsbemühungen und physikalische Prototypen zur Verifizierung und Validierung auf Fahrzeugebene zu verlassen, birgt erhebliche Risiken. Es besteht ein Bedarf an neuen und transformatorischen Ansätzen wie dem Systems Engineering. Die Digitalisierung ist notwendig, um eine produktfunktionalitätsgetriebene Plattform einzuführen, die eine kontinuierliche Verifikation und Validierung (V&V) auf Fahrzeugebene in allen Phasen des Prozesses ermöglicht. Die Herausforderungen bei der Einführung einer solchen V&V-Plattform sind zum Beispiel die mangelnde Kommunikation und Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Abteilungen, die Heterogenität der Daten, Modelle, Werkzeuge, nicht synchronisierte Prozesse oder einfach Zeit-, Kosten- und Qualitätsziele. All diese Herausforderungen müssen bewältigt werden, um den digitalen Faden bereitzustellen. Aber was ist als nächstes zu tun? AVL hat sowohl Werkzeuge als auch ein Beratungsprogramm entwickelt, um Unternehmen bei der Überwindung dieser Einschränkungen durch die Implementierung einer integrierten und offenen Entwicklungsplattform zu unterstützen. Virtuelle Prototypen werden zu den Kernelementen für die kontinuierliche Verifikation und Validierung auf Systemebene im Fahrzeugentwicklungsprozess. Sie gewährleisten die Rückverfolgbarkeit, da die Datenelemente systematisch miteinander verknüpft werden. In diesem Webinar erörtert Dr. Josef Zehetner, Chief Engineer System Architecture for Digital Process Innovation at the Integrated and Open Development Platform, einen umfassenden Ansatz, wie die Digitalisierung im V&V-Prozess vorangetrieben werden kann. Folgende Fragestellungen werden dabei adressiert:
  • Was sind Zielwerte und wie können sie im Prozess kontinuierlich validiert werden?
  • Wie sieht die Architektur von virtuellen Prototypen aus?
  • Wie lässt sich die Wiederverwendung von Simulationsmodellen, Parametern oder Komponenten-Prüfständen erzwingen?
  • Oder: Was sind die relevanten Informationen und wo sind sie zu verwalten?

Schneller, Früher, Besser, Billiger: Ideen & Beispiele zur Beschleunigung des Entwicklungsprozesses bis hin zur In-use Phase
Neue Unternehmen (OEMs), neue Technologien und Methoden verändern den Entwicklungsprozess hin zu einer stärker software- und funktionsorientierten Denkweise und beeinflussen die gesamte Branche. Dieser Wandel führt zu einer starken Kombination von Prototyp-Hardware und Simulationsmodellen (virtuelle Prototypen), die für das Frontloading von Entwicklungsaufgaben eingesetzt wird. Weitere Effizienzsteigerungen werden durch Automatisierung und Rund-um-die-Uhr-Tests, fortgeschrittene DoE und reale Tests im Labor während des gesamten Entwicklungsprozesses bis hin zum SOP erreicht. Aber auch die Nutzungsphase und die während des Fahrzeugbetriebs generierten Daten rücken in den Fokus der neuen Prozesse. Diese In-Use-Daten helfen bei der Optimierung der Produktfunktionalität während der Entwicklung und unterstützen begleitende Ökosysteme wie Smart Charging, öffentliche Verkehrsmittel, Pay-per-Use-Mobilität und sogar die Geschäftsmodelle von Versicherungsgesellschaften. AVL hat Gesamtlösungen namens „CONNECTED Toolchains“ entwickelt und diese erfolgreich in Fahrzeugentwicklungsprogrammen und im Fahrzeugbetrieb in allen Märkten eingesetzt. Messbare Vorteile, wie z. B. die Reduzierung der Gesamtbetriebskosten um 50 % oder die Verkürzung der Zeit bis zur Markteinführung um 6 Monate, wurden realisiert. Mit den über Jahrzehnte gesammelten Erfahrungen aus diesen Aktivitäten entwickelte AVL ein Programm zur individuellen Unterstützung von Unternehmen in diesem Veränderungsprozess. In diesem Webinar wird Rainer Schantl, Teamleiter Prozessinnovation & -implementierung Integrated and Open Development Platform, unseren umfassenden Ansatz zur Analyse und Bewertung der aktuellen Situation sowie unsere Unterstützung bei der Implementierung und dem Hochfahren beschleunigter und neuer Verfahren detailliert erläutern:
  • Wie berücksichtigt das Programm meine individuellen technischen, strategischen, wirtschaftlichen Randbedingungen?
  • Wie werden mein Geschäftsmodell und mein Produktportfolio berücksichtigt?
  • Wie kann ich meine Organisation davon überzeugen, der Veränderung zu folgen?
  • Wie lässt sich der technische und wirtschaftliche Nutzen einer Veränderung unter Berücksichtigung meiner spezifischen Randbedingungen berechnen und messen?

Earlier, faster, cheaper, better – How to accelerate the vehicle development process and utilize the in-use phase?
Today’s state-of-the-art vehicle development process is characterized by strict processes, component-based organizations with clear roles and a hardware-oriented mindset. New entrees (OEMs), new technologies and methods are changing the process towards a more software- and function-oriented way of thinking and influence the whole industry. This transformation leads to a strong combination of prototype hardware and simulation models (virtual prototypes) which is applied to frontload development tasks. Further increases in efficiency are achieved using automation and 24/7 testing, advanced DOE and real-world-testing in the lab throughout the whole development process up to SOP. But the in-use phase and data generated during vehicle operation are also moving into the focus of the new processes. This in-use data helps to optimize product functionality during development and supports accompanying ecosystems such as smart charging, public transportation, pay-per-use mobility and even insurance companies’ business models. AVL has developed overall solutions called “CONNECTED Toolchains” and has successfully applied them in vehicle development programs and in-use vehicle operations in all markets. Measurable benefits, such as reducing total cost of ownership by 50% or shortening the time to market by 6 months, have been realized. With the experience gained from these activities over decades, AVL developed a program for the individual support of companies in this change process. In this 60-minute webinar Rainer Schantl, Team Leader for Process Innovation & Implementation at the Integrated and Open Development Platform at AVL, will discuss our comprehensive approach to analyzing and assessing the current situation as well as our support during implementation and ramp-up of accelerated and new procedures: How does the program take into account my individual technical, strategic, economical boundary conditions? How are my business model and product portfolio considered? How can I convince my organization to follow the change? How can the technical and commercial benefits of a change be calculated and measured with regard to my specific boundary conditions?

Methods and tools for the validation of ADAS systems in vehicles
The release of driver assistance systems (ADAS) is still taking place in the vehicle, on the test track, and on the road today. Due to the growing number of assistance systems with higher complexity, which are now spreading in almost all vehicle models, as well as new guidelines and test specifications, automobile manufacturers and suppliers have to perform enormous tasks. Efficient methods and tools in the development and release are therefore indispensable. Even though simulation is becoming more important and plays an important role especially in the validation of autonomous driving functions (AD), the real vehicle remains the basis for approval and the reference for future simulation methodologies In our on-demand seminar we show you how AVL closes the gap between scenario-based validation in the simulation and the release in the vehicle on the road. Using examples, we will show:
  • How test cases are automatically processed for the vehicle developers
  • How they guide/accompany the development engineer in the vehicle to quickly perform the right test correctly and to quickly return the results to the development department
  • How our continuous toolchain can offer optimal support and which open interfaces facilitate the connection and integration of different tools into the development process
Would you like to increase the efficiency of your ADAS/AD tests? Then watch our online seminar now and learn everything you need to know to realize this target.

Digitalization of the vehicle development process – what to do next?
Modern vehicle development processes are complex, and they involve the entire organization for years. It is becoming increasingly difficult to master the vast complexity associated with vehicle development. Relying merely on heterogeneous simulation efforts and physical prototypes for verification & validation at the vehicle level carries severe risks. There is a need for new and transformational approaches such as systems engineering. Digitalization is necessary to introduce a product-functionality-driven platform to enable continuous vehicle-level verification and validation (V & V) in all phases of the process. The challenges of implementing such a V & V platform are for example the lack of communication and collaboration between departments, the heterogeneity in data, models, tools, unsynchronized processes, or simply time, cost and quality targets. All these problems have to be solved to provide the digital thread, but what is to be done next? AVL has developed both tools and a consulting program to help companies to overcome these limitations by implementing an Integrated and Open Development Platform. Virtual prototypes are becoming the core elements for continuous verification and validation at system level in the vehicle development process. They ensure traceability because data elements are systematically linked to each other. In this 60-minute webinar Dr. Josef Zehetner, Chief Engineer System Architect for Digital Process Innovation at the Integrated and Open Development Platform at AVL, discusses a comprehensive approach on how to drive digitalization in the V & V process: What are target values and how to continuously validate them in the process? What does the architecture of virtual prototypes look like? How to enforce re-use of simulation models, parameters or component testbeds? Or: what are the relevant information objects and where to manage them?

Methoden und Werkzeuge für die Validierung von ADAS-Systemen im Fahrzeug
Die Freigabe von Fahrerassistenzsystemen (ADAS) findet heutzutage noch immer im Fahrzeug auf der Teststrecke und auf der Straße statt. Durch die wachsende Anzahl von Assistenzsystemen mit höherer Komplexität, die sich mittlerweile in nahezu allen Fahrzeugmodellen ausbreiten, sowie durch neue Richtlinien und Prüfvorschriften, müssen Automobilhersteller und Zulieferer Enormes leisten. Effiziente Methoden und Werkzeuge in der Entwicklung und Freigabe sind daher unabdingbar. Auch wenn die Simulation wichtiger wird und insbesondere bei der Validierung von autonomen Fahrfunktionen (AD) eine bedeutende Rolle einnimmt, bleibt jedoch das reale Fahrzeug die Basis für die Freigabe und die Referenz für zukünftige Simulationsmethodiken. In unserem Online-Seminar zeigen wir Ihnen, wie AVL die Lücke zwischen szenariobasierter Validierung in der Simulation und der Freigabe im Fahrzeug auf der Straße schließt. Anhand von Beispielen verdeutlichen wir, wie Testfälle für die Fahrzeugentwickler automatisiert aufgearbeitet werden und im Fahrzeug den Entwicklungsingenieur leiten bzw. begleiten. Damit ist dieser in der Lage, schnell den richtigen Test ordnungsgemäß durchführen zu können und die Resultate zügig in die Entwicklung zurückzuliefern. Wie dabei unsere durchgängige Werkzeugkette optimale Unterstützung bieten kann und welche offenen Schnittstellen die Anbindung und Integration unterschiedlichster Werkzeuge in den Entwicklungsprozess erleichtern, thematisieren wir ebenfalls im Rahmen des Online-Seminars.

How can decisions on development efficiency be made for a competitive vehicle portfolio?
Two things prompt OEMs to rethink their vehicle portfolio and technology roadmap: the rapid progression of the automotive industry towards new powertrain technologies – legally compliant with the lowest environmental footprint - combined with the emerging mobility trends empowered by autonomous driving features. The system complexity due to the high number of variants and combinations of technologies and the extended testing effort to comply with emission legislation and autonomous driving safety measures will lead to an immense amount of test tasks. The resulting test gap can only be closed by considering the entire development process and adding new test approaches. Changing the development process by applying simulation and leveraging validation and calibration frontloading as well as efficiency programs for lab management and operation have a direct impact on the planning of the future investments in simulation and test factories. Within this decision triangle - choosing a competitive product portfolio, applying an efficient development process and realizing an efficient simulation and test factory - digitalization plays a key role. It enables interoperability within the development process by making the necessary data such as functional requirements, simulation models and parameters for the functional prototype, test orders and results available whenever needed. In this 60-minute webinar Engelbert Loibner, Team Leader Business Development & Marketing for the Integrated and Open Development Platform at AVL, will discuss a comprehensive approach to support making the right decisions for the demanding questions in the automotive industry: Which vehicle portfolio should be developed? How should vehicles be developed efficiently? How can costs in the test factory be reduced? And how will digitalization improve the development process?

Employing virtual development to understand and inhibit thermal runaway propagation in lithium-ion battery systems
The answer to a central question is crucial for the development of safe high-quality batteries: How long can and must a battery withstand a thermal runaway of a cell? A continuous cell has three possibilities to get rid of its energy: First, the conductive heat conduction, which can be inhibited by insulation measures. Secondly, the discharge of hot gases, which can be passed through the gas duct and expansion spaces inside the battery to cool down. And finally, the emission of electrode particles, which in turn have to be kept away from other cells and electrical lines. In this webinar Daniele Suzzi and Bernhard Brunnsteiner will give you insights on how AVL developed a number of virtual methods to fully analyze all of the processes mentioned. These methods are successfully used by our customers to determine and optimize the maximum safety time for parking and leaving a battery electric vehicle. Key take-aways • Comprehensive simulation approach for increasing passive battery safety in case of thermal runaway • Virtual verification of effeteness of design counter measure against thermal propagation • Efficient test specification and test result analysis supported by simulation • Method for proper layout of burst discs Back to Webinar Series Battery

Effizientes Thermal Management – mittels maßgeschneiderten Wärmepumpen- und Kabinenkomfortkonzepten sowie modellbasierten Prüfstandslösungen
Ein ausgeklügeltes und effizientes Thermalsystem löst den Zielkonflikt zwischen Passagierkomfort oder hoher Reichweite auf der einen Seite und langer Lebensdauer aller Antriebsstrangkomponenten – auch bei extremen Witterungsbedingungen – auf der anderen Seite. Insbesondere Wärmepumpenkonzepte, die einen hohen thermischen Komfort in der Kabine garantieren und trotzdem mit geringem Energieverbrauch auskommen, rücken immer stärker in den Fokus der Fahrzeugentwicklung. Ein effizienter Wärmepumpenkreislauf respektive reversibler Kältekreislauf ist – mit seinen Schnittstellen zur Kabine, Elektro-Antriebsstrang und Batterie – häufig sehr komplex aufgebaut und verschlingt viel Zeit und Ressourcen in der Entwicklung und Integration. Dabei sind Themen wie die Auswahl des passenden Kältemittels, der geeigneten Wärmequellen, das Kältemittel-Öl-Management sowie zusätzliche effiziente Komfortmaßnahmen individuell auf die Kundenbedürfnisse ausgerichtet. Die AVL steht als unabhängiger Partner mit jahrelanger Expertise in der automobilen Kälte- und Wärmepumpentechnik während des ganzen Entwicklungsprozesses zur Verfügung.

What does a future-proof open development ecosystem look like?
The current situation of the automotive industry is undergoing a fundamental change. The classical vehicle development process faces many challenges:
  • increasing technical complexity (parallel development of many propulsion systems and new topics like autonomous driving)
  • shorter development times
  • reduction of vehicle prototypes
  • software is becoming a main driver for vehicle functions and new entrances into the automotive domain are going completely new ways, mostly coming out of software development with a strong IT backbone.
This leads to the following questions: What are the boundary conditions of the process today? How does a future proof-open development ecosystem look like?
First, we will look at actual development processes, their main challenges, and how a 3-step approach can augment the classical process into a development ecosystem that enables agile development:
  1. The first step describes how a connected development process can leverage disconnected silos into a seamless collaborative development framework. Therefore, a general model will be introduced.
  2. The second step describes the augmentation into a functional digital twin concept over the whole process which mirrors the functional description of a virtual prototype from a multidisciplinary view.
  3. The third step augments the process with the linkage of the vehicle in-use phase as a new development environment into the overall process.
In this 60-minute webinar Dr. Wolfgang Puntigam, Global Business Unit Manager Integrated and Open Development Platform, will discuss new approaches within the vehicle development process and its evolution into an open development ecosystem.

Zero Impact Emission vs. Affordability
Current discussion about the ideal powertrain technology mix of the future raise the general question whether the long-term existence of the internal combustion engine (ICE) is justified, especially in the context of a CO2 - neutral future and lowest pollutant emissions. Solutions for the future must guarantee lowest emissions at affordable costs, in order to be sensibly accepted by the market in sufficient volumes without subsidy- and purchase-incentive-models. From today´s point of view, the ICE will remain an attractive part of the future powertrain technology mix, exploiting the synergies with the electrification within hybridized powertrains. Actual prognosis shows that the ICE-based powertrain in 2030 will still being significantly more cost effective compared to a pure battery electric- or fuel cell powertrain, even considering possible scaling effects and required technologies to achieve lowest emissions. It is possible to achieve an emission level far below the current legal limits with technologies already available today. Further development can reduce cost of these measures. Technically, for C-Segment upwards at least a 48V system (for example in P2 configuration) is essential for diesel as well as gasoline engines to enable a reasonable temperature management of the exhaust gas aftertreatment system in combination with an appropriate hybrid strategy (electric drive off/drive, electrically heated catalyst, …). In addition to a reduction of the fuel consumption and of the overall emissions, cold start emissions can be largely avoided. The respective potentials will be illustrated in the paper, based on results of concept-/demonstration-vehicles. The development must clearly focus on an optimized balance between real benefits and respective efforts. Only then there is a chance to bring the powertrain technologies in high volumes to the market quickly and to improve the air quality already short- and mid-term.

Testing Power Electronics in an Emulated Environment
In every electric power train, the drive inverter is a key component. When testing inverters, the main challenge is to increase test quality and test depth without increasing test effort, while at the same time the scope of the inverter functionality is increasing, and development times are becoming shorter. A new method, based on a Power-Hardware-in-the-Loop topology, supports a systematic test approach. Test cases and virtual components form a library to serve different test cases on component level, system level and vehicle level. In the presentation the author explains this concept applied to an electric drive inverter test environment, where a “digital copy” of an e-motor supports numerous inverter test scenarios along the inverter R&D phase. Key topics and takeaways:
  • Power Electronics – A key component in e-drives
  • Inverter test coverage comparison (R&D)
  • Benefits of Power-HiL based inverter testing

Die besten Strategien, um Testfahrten ohne Beifahrer zu automatisieren
Das Testen und Parametrieren von Funktionen im elektrifizierten Fahrzeug basiert meist immer noch auf manuellen Prozessen und die Konnektivität der eingesetzten Systeme ist oft unzureichend. Dies hat zur Folge, dass Testfahrten sehr häufig fehlerhaft, nicht reproduzierbar oder nachverfolgbar sind – von der Ressourcenbindung mit Fahrer und Beifahrer sowie bei der Auswertung ganz zu schweigen. In unserem Online-Seminar verraten Ihnen Sascha Kullmann und Marijn Hollander anhand von aktuellen Beispielen aus der Elektrifizierung und Active Safety Use-Cases die besten Strategien, wie Sie ohne Beifahrer die Testfahrten automatisieren können und das vollständig reproduzier- und nachverfolgbar.

Optimize hybrid powertrain emissions without a vehicle
Automotive Industry is moving rapidly towards environmental friendly propulsions system. Hybrid powertrains are capable to lower CO2 consumption and pollutant emissions. A typical approach is to find the optimum hybrid layout and strategy, by performing certain technical design tasks in office simulation directly followed by vehicle prototype tests on the chassis dyno and road. This leads to a high number of complex prototype vehicles, overload on chassis dynos, time-consuming road test and finally to tremendous costs. To overcome this time- and cost drivers we invented an innovative approach using an engine testbed as bridging element between office simulation and vehicle testing. The Engine Test system get extended with real-time vehicle simulation capabilities including repeatable driver behavior. Complemented with simulated electric hybrid components like e-Motor, Battery, as well as electric consumers and most important hybrid control functionalities simulated within an HCU model. The simulated HCU and its freely definable operating strategy make it possible to vary typical hybrid operating scenarios like electric boosting or electric recuperating within defined areas. Using a DoE approach including model creation, interdependencies between the amount of IC-Engine load point moving direction sweet spot areas - and emissions, as well as fuel consumption, can be made clear and transparent. This enables to find optimum conditions and derive most effective operating strategies. On top of real measured emissions and fuel consumption, numerous additional Key Performance Indicators like battery current throughput or battery SOC – load dependencies can be investigated to get the most robust and reliable control strategy in an objective way. This increase the HCU maturity level in the early stages and consequently decreases the development effort on cost-intensive prototype vehicles.

Post Euro-6 emission testing: How R&D emission testing can look like
AVL will present the impact on R&D emission testing of vehicles and engines by Post Euro-6. The upcoming emission regulation Post Euro-6 will affect pure ICE as well as hybrid, battery or fuel cell electric vehicles. For the development of such vehicles there are the challenges of a growing number of sample probe locations along the complex exhaust aftertreatment systems, the flow rates of extracted sample and the required floor space for additional measurement equipment. Key takeaways:
  • Engine-out and mid-cat measurements at sample points with high pressures and temperatures will be necessary in addition to tailpipe sampling for all components.
  • DPF and GPF will be needed to fulfill particle limits, requiring particle number and transient soot measurement to develop soot loading and regeneration models.
  • Complex exhaust aftertreatment systems require a higher number of exhaust gas sampling points, so extracted samples must not affect the engine and the exhaust aftertreatment system.
  • Frontloading and validation: To cope with RDE requirements, RDE cycles need to be run early in the development cycle, not only in chassis dynos but also in powertrain and engine testbeds.

Thermal Lab™ – the Future of Thermal Management Test Systems

A smart Vehicle Thermal Management System (VTMS) is essential for the driving range as well as the safety and durability of all powertrain components like the battery, E-motor, inverter or fuel cell. Particularly for Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), the range might be reduced by up to 50% by activating cabin heating or cooling and is therefore highly dependent on the thermal system. That’s why VTMS is becoming more and more in the focus of the automotive industry. A smart VTMS with features such as heat pumps, waste heat usage or predictive control, significantly increases the thermal comfort of the passenger, the battery and the entire powertrain but also protects the system from overheating while fast charging. However, such a complex system also requires a huge amount of testing and calibration time within the development process.

AVL’s Thermal Lab™ offers the possibility to frontload several vehicle tests from the road to the rig using a model-based Hardware in the Loop approach. The significant reduction of vehicle tests in wind tunnels and test tracks speeds up the development, reduces costs and might even safe one prototype generation. This novel testing methodology is based on high dynamic conditioning systems that act as the link between simulation models and the unit under test which is the powertrain cooling system, the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) as well as the thermal management control unit. This enables you to test the performance of your thermal system in different driving cycle, ensure proper functionality of all subsystems and even pre-calibrate your controller on the rig.

During this 60-minute webinar, the challenges of automotive thermal management development are shown and how much you can reduce your effort and costs as well as reduce the risk by using AVL’s Thermal Lab™.

How to Tackle Post-Euro VI Aftertreatment Development Challenges Using System Simulation
For many years, the automotive industry has been under constant pressure to reduce emissions from internal combustion engines. To meet current and upcoming legislation goals, exhaust gas aftertreatment systems must be highly efficient right from engine start. For engineers it is essential to have the optimal tools supporting them in every phase of the development process. This means all the way from concept selection, to component optimization, calibration and testing. AVL’s simulation solution provides the most comprehensive set of functionalies on the market embedded in a modern, intuitive framework. It can model all kinds of exhaust gas aftertreatment systems efficiently to find the optimum for every use case. A model library offers the most common aftertreatment components with pre-defined settings, including reaction kinetics. Simulation models are executed in transient mode in 1D or 1D+1D, depending on the washcoat layering. Aftertreatment models can be set up and operated stand-alone with given input traces of engine raw emissions or any measurement data. But it is also common practice to invoke them into the thermodynamic network of an engine or even a vehicle model. In such cases, dedicated co-simulation techniques are applied to match the computational requirements of the different system models. To support a cost-efficient and at the same time effective RDE compliant calibration of aftertreatment systems, AVL CRUISE™ M offers real-time proven plant models. Executing these models in HiL environments significantly reduces test bed occupation and on-road testing. In this webinar, AVL’s experts will provide an overview about the tool’s newly released EAS system simulation capabilities, including model setup and execution, simulation monitoring and result anlysis. The presented show case is a EURO 6 Gasoline aftertreatment system being part of a thermodynamic cycle simulation model.

Automated Transition from CFD to System Simulation of Thermal Networks
The pace of change that the automotive industry has seen in recent years is unprecedented. Almost every new vehicle is electrified to a certain degree, ranging from mild hybrids to battery and fuel-cell electric vehicles. This significantly increases the number of components and systems that need to be integrated and balanced while ensuring the maximum efficiency of the powertrain. These targets can only be met using state-of-the art simulation models of components, as well as systems. Some components, like battery or power electronics, must operate within a certain temperature range. This is why thermal management is so essential in the development process. Due to the often complex geometry of these components, they are best analyzed in computationally demanding 3D simulations. These are very time-consuming, especially considering the transient nature of most of the necessary investigations. Consequently, an equivalent, even more efficient 0D model must be set up to allow engineers to perform more simulations in the same time. Such a model is suitable to be integrated into the vehicle model to study its impact on the overall vehicle efficiency. Join Marko Kolaric, AVL’s thermal management simulation expert, in this 60-minute webinar to find out more about this automated solution that will allow you to transition from CFD to system simulation models easily.

Hydrogen – a solution to the intermittency of renewable energy sources
The trend towards renewable energy sources will continue under the pre-amble of GHG emission reduction targets. The available renewable energy is higher than the global energy demand. The question is how to harvest and store it properly? Intermittency of renewable energy resources makes the supply less predictable compared to traditional energy sources like coal or gas. Chemical energy carriers like hydrogen and synthetic fuels seem to be at least part of the solution for storing renewable energy. The efficiency of the well-to-wheel energy chain will be essential. Increasing the efficiency in the electrolysis leverages a high potential. Martin Rothbart from AVL will show how to choose the right energy storage method for renewables. In a possible ramp-up scenario Martin will talk about the use case of small geofenced fleets. He explains how they can be the starting point for ramping up to a CO2 neutral transport sector.

The vehicle powertrain challenge: Post Euro-6 emission testing
New vehicle powertrain technologies—from pure internal combustion engines (ICE) to all types of hybrids up to battery and fuel cell electric vehicles—need to be handled in a modern emission and energy laboratory. Highly advanced exhaust aftertreatments systems, like Oxidation-Cat, 3Way-Cat, 4Way-Cat, DPF, GPF, LNT and SCR are applied to fulfil global and often fast-moving emission and energy consumption legislations. In Europe, the process has begun to define the next level of emission standard, so called Post Euro-6. The European Commission has defined challenging targets, such as vehicles which are as clean as technically possible under all driving conditions with near zero emissions in cities. This means not only further reducing limits, but also implementing a whole new process for the entire useful life of the vehicle. Development of this process will continue throughout this year and will most likely continue in subsequent years. But waiting until it is finished is not an option. Developing such vehicles will need more lead time and must start early. As a consequence, testing infrastructure and measurement equipment must be ready now. In this free, hour-long Automotive World webinar, Kurt Engeljehringer, Principal Business Development Manager, Emissions Test Systems at AVL LIST gives an overview of the European Commission targets and the state of the discussions, and illustrates how Post Euro-6 emission testing can be done today.

Hazard Limitation and Safety Assessment for EV Batteries Using Simulation-Based Development
Battery safety is one of the major challenges in the development of electric vehicles with lithium-ion battery systems. Internal short circuits, electrical overload or mechanical damage can cause an uncontrollable rise in battery temperature. If a critical temperature is exceeded in the cell, self-accelerating exothermic chemical reactions generate a huge amount of heat in very short time. As a result, this massive heat release can cause the adjacent cells to overheat as well. In a chain reaction, this can overheat the battery module and, in the worst case, the entire battery pack. This process, also known as thermal runaway, results in severe damage to the battery system or entire vehicle from fire and explosion. In this webinar Juergen Schneider, Solution Manager for Virtual Battery Development and Bernhard Brunnsteiner, Lead Engineer Battery Simulation, present a unique simulation method that allows this problem to be analyzed in detail. Measures to stop this chain reaction or at least to massively slow down thermal propagation can be compared with respect to its effectiveness. This process considers all effects from the thermal runaway of a single cell through the venting process and the melting of the battery components to the layout of the safety vents. Different design measures can be tested virtually to prevent or delay thermal propagation in order to meet the safety requirements for electric vehicles. This solution is part of the AVL eSUITE™, an integrated simulation approach for electrified powertrain development.

Passenger car powertrain 4.x – fuel consumption, emissions and cost
Future mobility is about much more than whether or not to choose a battery electric vehicle; a big picture perspective is essential for generating consumer enthusiasm and mastering the challenges facing the automotive industry. This free Automotive World webinar deals with aspects of the engine and the powertrain—especially the hybrid powertrain—in the vehicle context. To reduce gaseous, PN and CO2 emissions in a sustainable, affordable and attractive way for customers requires close coordination between engine, transmission, hybridization and vehicle, not only during layout and development, but also in real-world applications. The key question is: “Which combination of component technologies leads to which emissions, which CO2 reduction at which cost, and how will the customer benefit?” In this webinar, Paul Kapus, Manager Gasoline Engine Development and Concept Cars, Executive Engineer at AVL List GmbH opens with current challenges regarding emissions and fuel consumption, and then shows the technology bricks for further improvement of combustion engine and hybrid powertrain technology. Paul also addresses the path to “zero impact emission” and implications for EU7; total fuel consumption, taking into account vehicle, engine and powertrain measures in terms of CO2 benefit and cost; and he provides a cost comparison of BEV, HEV, PHEV and FCEV.

Discover the Quick and Easy Start for Your Virtual E-Motor Development
The E-Motor is an integral part of Electric Vehicle (EV) or Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) drivelines and therefore it is important to consider its strong interaction with other relevant components during driveline development. When virtually developing a driveline, several typical tasks are regularly performed by engineers in specialized simulation departments. These range from the overall vehicle concept and layout analysis at system level over driveline dynamics and NVH at subsystem level up to the E-Motor 3D thermal analysis at component level. Engineers who perform such simulations may not always be electromagnetic simulation experts. Nevertheless, they need to consider the E-Motor’s interaction with the rest of the driveline. Exactly for users like them the E-Motor Tool (EMT) has been developed: When doing a layout of the system and only general requirements are known but the E-Motor is not available, it will only take one click for the EMT’s ‘Concept Designer’ to provide a reasonable suggestion for an E-Motor design that will fulfil the given requirements. When the geometry is available but exact results of the electromagnetic simulation like power losses, torque and force fluctuation are missing, the EMT’s ‘Geometry Assistant’ will generate an electromagnetic simulation model. The ‘Model Assistant’ will automatically perform the simulation and output exactly the required data. In this 60-minute-webinar, Sasa Bukovnik, Solution Manager for Virtual Driveline Development and Michael Schrottner, Simulation Engineer at AVL Advanced Simulation Technologies will show how easy E-Motor development with electromagnetic simulation can be.

Il ruolo della simulazione di sistema nel processo di sviluppo
Questo webinar si propone di illustrare come l’utilizzo estensivo della simulazione di sistema possa supportare attivamente i processi di sviluppo del settore automotive, attraverso tutte le loro fasi: dalla definizione del concept fino alla produzione. Avendo sempre un occhio di riguardo verso i nuovi trend di elettrificazione, Daniele Severi, System Simulation Lead Engineer presso AVL in Italia, illustrerà una serie di applicazioni che possono essere virtualizzate in diversi momenti del processo di sviluppo prodotto. L’approccio modulare e flessibile, che consiste nel rifinire progressivamente i modelli di simulazione ed incrementare il dettaglio, sulla base della crescente mole di informazioni disponibili durante lo sviluppo, consente alla simulazione di evolvere assieme al prodotto, supportando al meglio ciascuna fase e integrandosi nel processo. Dalla ricerca della miglior soluzione si passa pertanto alla validazione ed ottimizzazione dei sistemi di controllo, piuttosto che alla calibrazione virtuale. Infine, la simulazione può interfacciarsi col mondo del testing per emulare i componenti fisici mancanti, anticipando numerosi task impossibili con approcci tradizionali, con conseguente riduzione di tempi, costi e rischi. Grazie alla simulazione di sistema, la Computer Aided Engineering abbandona l’ufficio e si integra completamente coi dipartimenti di design, controlli, calibrazione e testing.

Affordable Climate Protection / Zero Impact Emission – The ICE as a Key Element
Global warming and thus CO₂ reduction is in the centre of environmental discussions today. In addition, the public awareness on air quality is also more sensitive than ever before, not at least in metropolitan areas. Ever tighter emission standards require further development for the powertrain of the future. Due to the implementation of RDE in the current emission legislation standard, the air quality has already improved significantly and would have improved even more, if there would be less older vehicles in the field. Some discussions about post-EU6 resp. EU7 goes into the direction of an exaggerated emission legislation and contain the risk of a disproportionate cost increase especially with smaller vehicles, without an adequate improvement of air quality. Independent from any emission legislation discussions, for AVL it is important to elaborate how far emissions can be further reduced from a technical perspective but focusing also on the required technology cost and development effort for a reasonable compromise between improved air quality and affordability. Furthermore, the development of zero-impact emission demonstrator vehicles for beyond EU7 discussions illustrate possibilities how to tackle with currently non regulated pollutant emissions in a Gasoline- as well as a Diesel based powertrain. The main purpose of these developments is to be able to identify the potential of different emission reduction solutions and derive reasonable technology packages for the next upcoming emission legislation standards. Emission dedicated hybrid operation strategies, effective NH3 reduction and particulate filtration efficiency down to 10nm are among others the most relevant topics. The prerequisite to measure ultra-low emission levels are advanced measurement system technologies providing high accuracy and appropriate resolution in order not to run into unacceptable high measurement system specific uncertainties that could influence the result significantly.

Synthetic Diesel Production – A Sector Coupling Approach for Decarbonizing Future Mobility
To reach the challenging CO2 targets of a maximum global temperature increases of two degrees (Paris COP21, 2015), a holistic approach is required. In the future, battery electric and hydrogen electric vehicle propulsion systems will become the key technologies alongside continuously optimized internal combustion engines with max. efficiency and zero-impact emissions. All three technologies will be used in parallel for the next decades. For a maximum contribution to the Paris two-degree target, the usage of synthetic fuels, based on renewable electric energy is essential. With the combination of a solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) and a Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis, a highly efficient process is possible. By using the Power-to-Liquid process (PtL), sustainable diesel can be produced, and it can immediately be used on large scale in existing fleets with the biggest lever arm on CO2 emissions. To achieve a maximum CO2 reduction, a holistic approach over all sectors is required. In this context, sector integration is one step towards a closed-loop economy by coupling power generation, industry and other sectors such as mobility. CO2 can be partly captured and recycled. Sector integration is a sustainable way to store large amounts of fluctuating renewable electricity into energy carriers such as synthetic fuels. In this lecture, PtL based on a combination of SOEC and FT is discussed. The SOEC’s key performance indicators and its total costs of ownership, based on today’s AVL technology know-how, are presented. The environmental and economic potential of this approach is shown, based on a highly modular and decentralized plant concept.

Smart City - Perfect example for End2End solutions to use data in an intelligent way
Smart City is everywhere, and digitalization is becoming more and more important in our modern society. Parking lots, infrastructure, charging stations and many others will be part of the connected eco system. All devices send and receive information for a perfect communication flow to the end user. Citizens expect to know the next free charging station, want to book a parking lot in advance and need to know the fastest route. The overall goal is, to make daily life easier and to save time spent on unnecessary things. Future scenarios can be secured through connectivity and an established data infrastructure. It is inevitable to have an intelligent processing of data and connected distribution of information. End-to-end connections are essential. We need to start with the user, to the sensor and bring the data into the backend. This guarantees a smooth data flow enriched with information through intelligent usage of data. AVL simulation tools like CruiseM or products like Device.CONNECT can be used and integrated into the setup. Smart solutions help to reduce costs and allow the user to compare simulated data with real data. This is the base for optimization. One AVL example will be shown in the webinar: Our Use Case of battery lifetime prediction and the consequent optimization of bus fleets saves operational costs for local public transport providers. It is a great example how smart city can be put into life. Our approach combines virtual and real environment to improve battery lifetime and bus routing. Our platform solution enable visualizations of the bus routes in the frontend, by using data from the backend. But it does not stop here: You can integrate every city, every bus line and adapt the parameters of the busses. Easy to use and effortlessly adaptable for every city!

Extending Battery Life of Electric Vehicle Fleets
The global roll-out of E-Mobility requires battery lifecycle management along the whole value chain to improve battery value and profitability. Monitoring the battery and vehicle status from production to the vehicle fleet’s “in-use” phase, aided by advanced battery lifetime methodologies, allows a data driven prediction of battery degradation and lifetime, and hence, enables the optimization of battery design, management and the EV’s operation strategy. As a result, the battery lifetime will be maximized and optimized for second life applications.

Developing Efficient, Robust and Reliable Scrubbers to Meet IMO Sulphur Cap 2020
Increased public awareness about the air pollution caused by ships requires a change in the marine propulsion technology. Since January 1 2020, the new IMO Sulphur Cap regulation is in place. Vessels running on heavy fuel oil (HFO) need to clean exhaust gas from sulphur or use alternative fuels like very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) or marine gasoil (MGO). To find the holistic optimum for an individual ship, many factors need to be considered: • Total cost of ownership (OPEX and CAPEX) - Installation, consumables, needed energy, handling effort, maintenance cost, impact on engine, controls concept, … • Usage profile and application - ECA areas, deep sea vessels, local requirements, combination with SCR, operation profile, … • Being ready for the future - Legislations, port authorities, availability of fuel, … • Green image - Reduction of emissions SOx, PM, NOx, PN, CO2, … For many applications, the installation and operation of a scrubber is the most economical solution even if it requires additional energy and consumables. Scrubbers need to be operated 24/7 and therefore efficiency and robustness are key requirements. With its simulation-driven scrubber solutions, AVL supports the design of new, but also the improvement of existing scrubbers and delivers solutions for reducing time required for trouble shooting. Join the webinar to learn more about AVL's offerings: • Emission reduction concepts – define the technology route • Layout and specification – select supplier and components • Development and verification – achieve highest efficiency and robustness • Fleet validation and field support assistance – optimize controls and manage maintenance and to see how efficient and robust scrubber solutions are developed for green naval transportation.

Market differentiation through region-specific ADAS performance targets
AVL’s KPI-based target definition approach offers an optimal solution for ADAS requirements, including specific driving style analysis Thanks to the global market penetration of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) such as adaptive cruise control or lane centering assist, consumers demand features that operate reliably according to local and specific real-world conditions. Furthermore, OEMs demand differentiation from competitors, and it has become important to develop brand-specific key performance indicators (KPIs). This in particular must be factored in at a very early stage of development, in the system design phase. AVL’s KPI-based target definition approach offers an optimal solution for these requirements. Using multi-dimensional KPI models enables the capture and analysis of customers’ individual driving styles in each target market. For each driving scenario, target bands are also developed and defined, making it possible to derive verification test cases and perform time efficient validation test drives. In this free, hour-long webinar, AVL’s Philipp Quinz introduces and discusses the AVL approach, as well as the tools used to face this challenge.

Witness a Paradigm Shift in FCEV System Level Modelling
Frontloading is an effective measure to shorten product development cycles. It is particularly important in the powertrain development of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) featuring multiple physical domains, such as mechanical, electrical, fuel cell system, battery system, thermoregulation and controls. Mastering their complexity calls for advanced system simulation tools to efficiently explore the vast design space of material, geometry and operation parameters. Low temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (LT-PEMFC) in hydrogen-powered vehicles are a viable emission free solution featuring short refuelling times and long driving ranges. To achieve higher market shares of FCEVs, a significant cost reduction needs to be achieved while ensuring enough service life and sufficiently high energy conversion efficiencies. Electrochemical devices, fuel cell and battery are prone to degradation during their life-time. Aging phenomena need to be considered already during initial system layout studies when targeting to approach engineering limits. The performance and degradation of electrochemical systems is influenced by multiple interactions on inter- and intra-component level. Here, mechanistic models on all relevant levels are crucial to assess the global system performance and local degradation in a closed causal chain. In this 60-minute-webinar, Johann Wurzenberger, Team Leader at AVL Advanced Simulation Technologies, will present a paradigm shift in system level modelling of FCEVs. This is achieved with a multi-domain modelling framework combining models of different physical domains featuring different scales, frequencies and numerical requirements. The core of the approach are spatially and temporarily resolved models for fuel cell and battery. The models are integrated into the FCEV model running in transient operating conditions.

High Voltage System Testbed – a radically different approach in BEV development
Development of a BEV (Battery Electrical Vehicle) requires significant adaptations of the development process as well as in the development environment. Whereas the testing of physical components as the combustion engine itself was fundamental for the development of conventional vehicles, the testing demands for a BEV are different. The challenge is rather lying in securing the integration of all control units of the vehicle since a BEV is typically equipped with connectivity options besides components for the electrical powertrain itself. The challenge is an opportunity to question and adapt the conventional testing environments like the powertrain testbed where the complete powertrain with the needed control units can be tested before a prototype vehicle is available. The HV System testbed adds more simulation and residual bus capabilities and replaces the dynos with E-Motor Emulator(s) in case needed to run drive cycles. The concept is optimized both in functionality for integration testing as well as in reduction of cost, complexity and building requirements where the testbed is built up. The testbed functions as a physical twin to the simulation environment and acts like a development forum where all development departments have a natural meeting point. The webinar describes the testing challenges of BEV with examples of high-power charging and safety tests and how the HV System testbed meets them and helps achieving higher maturity in earlier phases.

Virtual Development of Efficiency and Comfort for Commercial Off-Highway Vehicles
The enforcement of stricter emission legislations has characterized the commercial vehicle industry for decades. Even when legislation varies on limits and testing methods, one thing remains in common: the holistic view of the vehicle. Realistic vehicle simulations thus represent a key technology to develop new concepts for commercial off-highway vehicles. AVL’s methodology to efficiently test new systems and functions in virtual environments ensures state-of-the art comfort and driveability from the outset. Physical effects like the interaction between wheels and tractor implements with the soil are however in many cases non-linear and therefore, difficult to consider. For a successful whole system optimization, AVL has developed the VSM™ simulation model for agricultural machinery in soft soil conditions. The new fully automated simulation methods can also be combined with powertrain test beds in order to drastically reduce the calibration effort for engine, transmission and vehicle control units. In this webinar, Joerg Schlager, Lead Engineer Simulation Software, will present AVL’s tools and methodology for the simulation of commercial off-highway vehicles. Register today to learn how this technology can help speed up innovation cycles while increasing development efficiency.

How to Predict and Reduce Valve Guide and Seat Wear
The understanding of wear phenomena is relevant for several engineering fields. Basically, every application where force is transferred between directly connected and relatively moving components is prone to wear. Such contacts are common in IC engines.
While aiming for lower frictional losses in the engine it is also important to keep an eye on component durability and longevity; a challenging task due to higher specific loads as a result of downsizing. This shows that wear resistance of valve seat and guide is directly influencing the main development targets, engine efficiency and lower exhaust gas emissions.
The evaluation of wear is usually based on experimental results which are only available late in the development process. Simulation models can already be adopted in early phases of engine development to predict and reduce the wear phenomenon by target-oriented measures.
In this live webinar, AVL’s expert Norbert Nerpel will show how to conduct the wear analysis of the valve guide and valve seat contact using AVL EXCITE™ Power Unit. Based on a standard installation example, he will guide you through the major steps for the setup of a wear analysis and give modelling guidelines. The extent of wear is dependent on several factors, such as contact pressure in combination with relative sliding, lubrication state and material hardness. Norbert will also demonstrate how to best consider these in his presentation.

How to Optimize Vehicle Energy Balance through Smart Hybrid Controller Layout
Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) combine the best of two worlds: a long range possible through an internal combustion engine and lower consumption and emissions through electrification. These advantages can, however, only be achieved if the complex powertrains of HEVs are developed using optimally calibrated hybrid controllers. Developing such controllers requires a multi-domain simulation of the entire vehicle including controller functionalities. This is needed to set up smart strategies by considering realistic driving conditions. Using Design of Experiments (DoE), optimized parameters can be gained. This ensures robust controller functions over a wide spectrum of vehicle operations. In this Live Webinar, AVL’s experts Christoph Triebl and Alessandro Colla will show how the energy balance of a hybrid vehicle can be optimized using innovative system simulation. Topics will include setting up a controller strategy and handling several design variants of controller parameters and functionalities.

Thermal management strategies for electric vehicles
Advanced thermal management of vehicle components such as internal combustion engines, batteries, electric motors, pumps, compressors and fans ensures their optimal interaction and operation, and can result in improved durability and efficiency. Intelligent thermal management is therefore a crucial factor determining the overall efficiency of a vehicle. The thermal management of electric vehicles is especially challenging, given the reduced amount of energy stored onboard. The higher the degree of electrification, the more important it is to efficiently manage the thermal condition of the cabin and components in order to maximize the vehicle’s range. In this free, hour-long Automotive World webinar, attendees will learn how solutions are developed from concept phase to the start of production, through a holistic approach to thermal management. By using extensive analysis tools such as virtual prototypes, coupled with many years of experience in this area, automakers and suppliers can develop the control strategies required to reach efficiency targets.

NVH Root Cause Analysis
NVH calculations provide information about resonant speeds and frequencies, but the cause of resonances themselves cannot be easily determined. In order to find root causes of faults or problems, Root Cause Analysis should be carried out. AVL offers 5 workflows: Modal Analysis, Modal Contribution Factor, Operational Deflection Shape, Numerical Transfer Path and Transfer Functions. Modal Analysis gives us information about eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes of the multibody system. With the help of the Modal Contribution Factor it can be figured out which of those contribute most to the resonant vibration. The Numerical Transfer Path shows us which load contributes the most to the resonant vibration. Operational Deflection Shape gives us the deformation shape for the resonant speed or frequency, while the Transfer Path provides information about transmissibility of the vibration through the structure. In this webinar, you will learn how to find root causes of the resonance in NVH calculation using 5 AVL Root Cause Analysis Workflows.

How to Cut Gearbox Lubrication Development from Days to Hours
Do you want to develop your gearboxes faster and more cost-efficiently? Do you need to avoid unnecessary losses caused by the oil sump, optimize the lubrication of the bearings and improve the cooling concept? Then don’t miss this webinar. The prediction of the oil flow in a fast rotating gearbox is one of the most demanding tasks in numerical fluid mechanics (CFD) as complex geometry meets complex physics and complex dynamics. For standard, mesh-based CFD approaches, intensive manual effort goes into geometry preparation which is followed by uneconomical calculation times, making the use of simulation unprofitable here as the results come too late in the development process. In this free, hour-long Automotive World webinar, Markus Ihmsen, Managing Director at FIFTY2 Technology GmbH will outline how innovative companies like Schaeffler Technologies could reduce their simulation cycles for high-performance electric axle systems from weeks to overnight with PreonLab, the innovative mesh-free CFD solution developed by FIFTY2 Technology GmbH.

The Keys to Bearing Friction Optimization
An efficient drivetrain is as important as a powerful engine. In today’s premium racing series, most of the time engines are already pushed to the maximum. Additional HP is difficult to find and requires expensive engine development programs like CFD simulations, combustion analyses, valve rigs or engine tests. As at some point the engine power runs evenly, the drivetrain efficiency becomes a real performance differentiator. The more efficient the driveline, the less power is lost between crankshaft and the wheels. To achieve this in-depth analyses of each single component are needed. While tools for gearbox and differential measurements are already available, wheel bearings have been neglected until now. First internal tests have shown that, even with spec bearings of racing customers, major efficiency gains can be achieved. To find the overall optimum of preload, lubricants and temperature, an accurate tool dedicated for bearing tests is needed. As the bearing friction is also driven by road loads and operating temperatures, only measurements under realistic conditions are valuable. Attend our live webinar and learn more about the new cost-efficient AVL Friction Rig service to measure wheel bearings under real world conditions. Unlike a simple run out test, the AVL Friction Rig can apply wheel loads to the bearing without corrupting the measurement. AVL RACING cordially invites you to join this webinar on February 6, 2020.

Road Digitalization for Virtual Testing, from Office to Testbed Applications
The ever-increasing volume of outdoor measurements implies a high demand for development process efficiency. The RDE legislation has furthermore dramatically increased the need for real-world testing and poses new challenges for front-loading the development of RDE tests for powertrain systems. Each vehicle and powertrain developer need to distribute the RDE-relevant development efforts across different test, validation and development environments – from vehicle to system, component testbeds or pure virtual environments – supported by vehicle and environment simulation. With the Smart Mobile Solutions Simulation Package, AVL has created an easy way to move tests from outdoor testing to the testbed and to office simulation environments to virtually investigate critical scenarios upfront. In this 60-minute webinar, AVL experts Emre Kural, Department Manager for Virtual Testing in AVL IODP-X, and Konstantina Kanellopoulou, Customer Loyalty Manager provide an overview about AVL technologies and software solutions in the direction of road digitalization.

Fahrzeuginterne Tests und Kalibrierung neu definiert
Um alle Anforderungen des realen Fahrbetriebs zu erfüllen, müssen die OEMs nachvollziehen können, wie sich ihre Fahrzeuge unter extremen Bedingungen verhalten. Reale Fahrversuche in verschiedenen Umgebungen und unter unterschiedlichen klimatischen Bedingungen sind jedoch kosten-, personal- und zeitintensiv. Im Gegensatz dazu befindet sich das Testen im Fahrzeug noch im Anfangsstadium. Es ist häufig unstrukturiert, dezentralisiert und die Daten werden nicht an einem zentralen Ort gespeichert. Diese Entwicklungsphase ist aktuell sehr arbeitsaufwendig und anfällig für Schwächen. Zudem herrscht ein Mangel an Konnektivität bei den eingesetzten Tools, was wiederum zu Datensilos und Sicherheitsproblemen führen kann. Deshalb hat AVL diesen Prozess revolutioniert.

Making combustion measurable: Pressure sensor options for future engine development
If you can’t attend the session live please register anyway and we’ll send you a link to the slides and a video of the session when it’s finished.

The physical and chemical processes within the combustion engine chamber have been challenging researchers since 1876. Now, due to ever more stringent legislation, minor details play a major role, and understanding sensor behaviour is becoming critical: knowing the sensor itself is essential for accuracy and for interpreting results.

In this free 60-minute webinar, Hannes Offenbacher, Product Manager, Combustion Measurement Transducers at AVL discusses the properties of several pressure sensor types and how they are used in various applications (e.g. thermodynamics, knocking) or mounting positions (direct mounted, spark plug sensors etc.). Cylinder pressure sensors are at the heart of modern engine development, so choosing the right sensor solution is more important than ever for meeting the requirements of future legislation.

How to Cut Cost and Time with Model-based e-AWD and Torque Vectoring Controls Development
The electrification of the powertrain has been one of the technological highlights in vehicle development over the last few years. The common multi-electric-machine topologies cost-effectively enable powertrain functions like all-wheel-drive (AWD) or torque vectoring. While a standard powertrain requires complex gearboxes to divert drive torque towards the wheels, electric powertrains can handle this task in most cases without any additional mechanical gear. Maximizing the benefit of the e-AWD powertrain requires the extension of control function development. Effective development of controls tailored to a specific powertrain topology and vehicle combination must follow a strict functional development process. AVL has established an approach for the functional development of e-AWD and torque vectoring controls that starts very early in the development timeline. AVL VSM™ and AVL-DRIVE™ are used as tools for Model-in-the-Loop (MiL) simulation and assessment. This enables AVL to define the e-AWD functions and identify the optimum hardware characteristics and required control algorithms by balancing performance, vehicle dynamics and efficiency. The ultimate goal is to create a perfect match of the requirements set in the vehicle’s customer market profile sheet. With MiL simulation, the controls can be virtually calibrated before being transferred to a real hardware ECU as software code, enabling the in-vehicle calibration to start on a more mature level, and helping to save time and development costs. In this 60-minute webinar, Joachim Ecker, Technical Expert Chassis, outlines how the AVL e-AWD development process ensures efficient and cost-effective controls development, and helps to optimize powertrain functions and vehicle dynamics.

Wie lassen sich emissionsrelevante Fahrzyklen von der Straße auf den Prüfstand übertragen?
Aufgrund gesetzlicher Vorgaben sind die Kosten und Aufwände für OEMs bei der Durchführung emissionsrelevanter Prüfungen auf der Straße und auf Rollenprüfständen deutlich gestiegen.
Um die Situation zu vereinfachen, können Fahrversuche auch in andere Prüfstandsumgebungen wie Antriebsstrang- und Motorenprüfstand durchgeführt werden. Für eine erfolgreiche Umsetzung müssen jedoch mehrere Faktoren berücksichtigt werden:
  • Zur Verlagerung emissionsrelevanter Prüfungen in Prüfstandsumgebungen sind geeignete Fahrzeug- und Fahrermodelle erforderlich; insbesondere für Motorenprüfstände sind geeignete Getriebemodelle erforderlich.
  • Entscheidend ist auch die auf dem Prüfstand verwendete Methodik, nur so kann eine hohe Messqualität gewährleistet werden.
  • Dennoch dürfen Straßentests nicht vernachlässigt werden. Die Vorbereitung (z. B. Auswahl der besten Route), die Ausführung (Assistenzsysteme, die den Fahrer in Bezug auf dynamische Kriterien unterstützen) und die Nachbearbeitung (Aufbereitung der Messdaten für die Übertragung in eine Prüfstandsumgebung) erfordern geeignete Werkzeuge.

ADAS calibration and validation – localization versus globalization, development approach and testing tools
ADAS features contribute to higher road safety and driving comfort. The industry is therefore moving towards a full roll-out across all vehicle segments. For market success, robust and reliable operation of ADAS is mandatory, which creates the need for high validation efforts and comprehensive testing tools. However, end consumers will not only expect ADAS to prevent potential crash situations; they will also need to feel confident with the driving controller’s behaviour. The driver’s safe perception of ADAS, which is mainly impacted by calibration parameters, will be key. However, perceived safety & comfort expectations vary between Asia, Europe and the Americas. In this webinar, Erich Ramschak, Thomas Guntschnig and Ilva Kotori are going to discuss development approaches for both local and global KPI/calibration target settings, including time efficient calibration and validation methods, with tools from AVL as an established global engineering and testing company.

Testing and validating automated driving systems via ENABLE-S3
Increasing automation of cyber-physical systems (ACPS)—as used in self-driving cars—contributes significantly to the pursuit of overcoming traffic rule violations and accidents caused by human drivers. Although highly automated systems already exist, there is a lack of cost-effective, commonly accepted verification & validation (V&V) methods and tools, creating a barrier to the market introduction of these systems. The major challenge is seen in the interaction of the safety-critical systems with the environment; not only should the system itself be tested, but also its correct reaction to the behavior and specifics of the surroundings. This leads to a huge number of potential scenarios that every automation system has to handle in a safe way. For three years, 68 European partners from six domains have worked in a joint research project known as ENABLE-S3 to investigate V&V methods for highly automated cars, airplanes, trains, ships and medical and farming equipment. In this 60-minute webinar Jürgen Holzinger presents the methods and key results of three years of research, with a focus on the automotive domain. Jürgen is Program Manager of the AVL List GmbH’s ADAS project house. He is in charge of managing and coordinating the ADAS Project House activities.

Towards agile software development and verification for ADAS/AD
The development of automated and autonomous driving is in full swing. New features are becoming increasingly complex, and traditional deterministic function development has become outmoded. On the one hand, processing of sensor data (perception) or trajectory planning leads to algorithm development by means of machine learning, while on the other hand, with increasing levels of automation, verification and validation are becoming ever more important. Fail-operational architectures must be implemented, connectivity is accelerating the need for security and safety, and new topics such as SOTIF (safety of the intended functionality) are creating functional safety challenges.

To manage all of these issues, a holistic approach is required for software development, with a development platform which offers the right combination of tools and enables the efficient application of process and method guidelines. An integrated and seamless development toolchain is needed which covers requirements, architecture, configuration, implementation, code generation and test management—all while being fully traceable. It also needs to fulfil the requirement of an integrated and seamless verification and validation toolchain, from test preparation to test execution.

This 60-minute webinar addresses all of these topics, with expert insight from AVL Software and Functions GmbH; Klaus Fuchs, Business Development Manager and Michael Steindl, Software & Functions Senior Engineer provide insights into solutions and approaches for advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving development at AVL.

Hybrid solutions for CO2 reduction in truck and bus applications
Worldwide, CO2 legislation is driving bus and truck manufacturers to introduce more efficient powertrain solutions for their future products. Full electric vehicles (BEV and FCEV) will play an important role in next-generation buses and trucks, but due to concerns about energy density and total cost of ownership (TCO), there will continue to be a place for conventional powertrains. With limited further efficiency improvements in internal combustion engine technology, hybrids have the potential to combine the advantages of both electrified and conventional powertrains.

Hybrid technology selection depends largely on vehicle application. For long-haul applications, a mild hybrid solution might deliver the best trade-off between fuel efficiency and system costs, while the energy recuperation of urban delivery trucks or buses makes a full hybrid the logical solution.

In this 60-minute webinar our experts discuss the criteria for hybrid technology selection, and the toolchain required to achieve the optimum solutions for different hybrid technologies.

Redefining in-vehicle testing and calibration
In order to meet all the requirements of real-world driving, automakers need to see how their cars perform in extreme environments. As a result, they might ship them for testing in the heat of Spain, the icy cold of Sweden, or up in the high-altitude of the Alps.

Test engineers must tick off a wide array of maneuvers in a wide range of different settings, from urban to rural, country lane to the freeway. It is extremely expensive, takes a significant amount of time, and uses a lot of manpower with one person driving, another conducting the tests and support teams all involved.

In-vehicle testing is still in the dark ages; it is very unstructured, labor-intensive, lacking in connectivity and data is not stored in a central place. This results in data siloes and security issues, and the entire development phase is full of weaknesses. As such, AVL is revolutionizing the process.

Maximizing SCR Performance
Automated design optimization for best Ammonia utilization avoiding wall film and deposits In the last years, Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Systems became the leading technology for reducing NOx of the Diesel engines to meet international legislative restrictions, which are becoming even stricter. To reduce the NOx, UWS (also known as AdBlue or DEF) is injected before the SCR Catalyst. To achieve better performance of the reduction, high Ammonia uniformity in front of SCR is of great importance. As an unwanted effect of the UWS injection, Wall Film can be formed on the system walls and can lead to the Deposits formation. By evaluating different geometry designs of a SCR system, best performance design can be obtained, considering all main effects. With the help of simulation tools this can be done simpler and faster. In this 60-minute webinar, AVL's expert Teo Milosic discusses how to use fast, reliable simulation workflow to get the best performance SCR System design. All phases of the workflow will be covered, from automated optimization of a best geometry design considering different Mixer designs and objectives e.g. Flow / Ammonia Uniformity in front of SCR, up to full scale UWS dosing simulation with the evaluation on Deposit formation, using speed-up techniques to reduce R&D effort and resources to minimum.

Secure and consistent calibration data management with AVL CRETA 5R3
Handling calibration data for different types of vehicle control units is becoming ever more complex as a result of today’s agile processes and increasing levels of functionality. Traditional approaches with weekly review meetings, manual data checks and inspecting data in real vehicle test fleets is becoming impossible due to the large number of changes and adaptions. In this 60-minute webinar, Szalai Zsolt, Project Manager Development and Nikolas Schuch, Department Manager at AVL, demonstrate how to structure the important areas of calibration datasets, where reviews take place on a peer-to-peer basis. This ensures that highly critical changes—or late changes in critical areas—are always reviewed and checked by other specialists. To keep a high level of consistency in calibration variants it is crucial that automated functions help lead calibrators to recognize and quickly understand differences, define templates and evaluate the impact of changes. AVL is using a regression analysis to makes sure the quality of the calibration datasets is constantly under review for an improved calibration release.

Predictive Engine Thermal Load Analysis
Powertrain component design is permanently driven by various factors including costs, size, weight, performance, reliability and durability, which are often in conflict to each other. Hence the actual loads are continuously moving closer to material limits potentially leading to fatigue issues and component failure. This is also true for thermally loaded parts. Looking at combustion engines in modern powertrains, the intention to increase their efficiency results in so-called “right-sizing”. While the engine's efficiency and power output are expected to increase, size and weight are expected to decrease. To avoid damaging thermal loads, more effort therefore has to be spent on regulating the engine's operating temperatures. This webinar is part of a webinar series and follows the Webinar “Predictive Thermal Load Analysis”. The focus lies on simulating/predicting the thermal load of an IC Engine, a Head/Block Compound during warm up, sudden stop or critical boundary conditions.

How to optimize thermal management for battery electric vehicles
Thermal management is a challenging topic for battery electric vehicles (BEVs). The operational range of electrical components, such as the battery, inverters and e-motors, are relatively small compared to conventional propulsion systems. Thermal management is also safety relevant because of the possible and unexpected derating effects which lead to reduced acceleration capabilities, as well as possible thermal events and pack runaway/venting.
During this 60-minute webinar, the benefits of efficient battery thermal management are shown in detail, as a cell’s health, power availability and driving range strongly depend on it. Nowadays, the topic is becoming increasingly important as lower charge times, and thus higher charge power, are critical factors in customer acceptance of BEVs.
In fact, fast charging scenarios with charge power greater than 100kW lead to huge heat rejections, which need to be efficiently extracted from the thermal system. On the other hand, the development of e-powertrain systems requires the consideration of important aspects such as simplicity (packaging, assembly) and costs, without neglecting cooling performance and safety (how it behaves in the case of an incident).
Today there is a gap between simulation and testing. This is especially true for thermal management. To frontload thermal management tasks on testbeds requires dynamic conditioning units and accurate simulation models.
By connecting simulation and testing, you get much closer to reality. Without such a connection, components are only tested with constant coolant temperatures and volume flows. As a result, the behavior of the unit under test (UUT) does not correspond to that in the real vehicle and, for example, derating effects caused by overheating of the battery are not accurately reflected.
Dr. Christian Mayr, Project Manager Integrated and Open Development Platform at AVL and Dr. Armin Traußnig, Lead Engineer Thermal and HVAC System Simulation at AVL, discuss the development of thermal management.

How to make more efficient electrified vehicles through simulation
One important measure to meet the stringent restrictions on fleet average CO2 emissions is increasing the degree of vehicle powertrain electrification. Starting with electrified auxiliaries of conventional powertrains ranging all the way to fully electric vehicles. Modern electrified vehicles, also known as xEVs, are characterized by energy conversions and may even use multiple energy sources. This requires a holistic view of the energy flows within the vehicle system. To perform such an analysis, a multi-domain system simulation approach is necessary, optimizing the overall energy requirements during representative driving conditions that consider the influence of control functions. They define how the vehicle propulsion system operates - e.g. purely electrical or combined driving, recuperative or dissipative braking etc. The insight gained by this numerical investigation is the basis for further design modifications of individual components. In this 60-minute webinar, AVL's expert Oliver Knaus discusses how to optimize the energy consumption of the entire system, while respecting the individual demands of performance and drivability.

A modular approach to hybrid powertrains can optimize cost and CO2 reductions
For volume applications electrified powertrains are a prerequisite to meet future fuel consumption limits. The range will include parallel hybrids, 48V- or High voltage Mild- or Full hybrids, up to Serial hybrids. In the first configurations the ICE is the main propulsion, requiring the whole engine speed and load range including the transient operation. The competition of different technologies and variabilities, from variable compression ratio to variable valve lift, advanced boosting technologies, high pressure injection at the gasoline engine, as well as add on measures such as water injection require a modular common engine family architecture with common parts and common machining and assembly concepts. At serial hybrid applications the vehicle is generally electrically driven and the ICE provides power to drive the generator, either exclusively or supporting a plug-in battery charging concept. As the ICE is not mechanically coupled to the drive train, a reduction of the operation range to preferred load and speed ranges with high efficiency is feasible. The webinar shows the chances of a modular technology approach, with focus on a balanced overall complexity of the powertrain with increasing electrical power in regard of Cost and CO2-reduction.

How Co-Simulation Can Aid the Development and Virtual Validation of ADAS Functions
AVL’s Josko Balic discusses how co-simulation platforms can be used to develop a range of driver assistance systems.

The introduction of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving (AD) has become a strong driver of innovation in the automotive industry. Safety requirements, paired with short development times, can only be met by using highly efficient simulation and testing methods. As these requirements cannot be covered by a single simulation tool, it is necessary to perform integration within a versatile co-simulation environment.
AVL offers a robust and open co-simulation and integration platform called Model.CONNECT. It connects environment, traffic, driver, sensor, vehicle and controls models with cloud computing resources and hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) testing systems, for ADAS engineers to perform rapid prototyping, system integration, large-scale function optimization and safety validation.
In this webinar, Josko Balic, Product Manager for Model.CONNECT, System Simulation and virtual ADAS solutions, explains how to utilize the tool for different ADAS applications, such as platooning, highway pilot, parking assist and adaptive cruise control, while ensuring optimal performance and accuracy within a consistent and seamless development process.

How emissions-relevant driving cycles can be transferred from road to lab
Due to legal requirements, the additional costs OEMs face when performing emissions-relevant tests on the road and on chassis dynos have increased considerably.
In order to make things easier, road tests can also be carried out in testbed environments. However, there are several factors that must be considered if this is to be successfully implemented:
  • For the relocation of emissions-relevant tests in testbed environments, appropriate vehicle and driver models are required; and especially for engine testbeds, suitable transmission models are necessary
  • The methodology used on the testbed is also decisive; it is the only way to ensure high measurement quality
  • Nevertheless, road tests must not be forgotten. Preparation (e.g. selection of the best route), execution (assistance systems that support the driver with regard to dynamic criteria) and post-processing (preparation of the measurement data for transfer to a testbed environment) require appropriate tools
Christian Mayr, Project Manager for the Integrated and Open Development Platform discusses how emissions-relevant driving cycles can be executed on testbeds and – as an example – shows results from a customer project involving chassis dyno and engine testbeds.
