Powertrain & Vehicle SimulationCustomer RequirementsWhich components provide the performance required? Which parameters and operating strategies achieve the best fuel efficiency? The complex interactions between the components , a modern powertrain is comprised of, make it challenging to find the best suitable set-up and control algorithms.
Offline simulation of the powertrain, is a tool to analyse and optimise the system performance well before any hardware is produced. Hence expensive and time consuming development loops on hardware are avoided.

AVL ApproachThe off-line simulation of the entire vehicle/machinery enables the determination of the optimum specification of all powertrain components including engine, transmission, final drives etc. The result is a prediction of vehicle/machinery performance, fuel consumption and emissions in whatever duty cycle has been defined. |
