CRUISE M models all relevant physical areas that occur in a vehicle. These include electrical networks, thermoregulation systems including air-conditioning circuits, mechanical and thermodynamic systems, and a generic data and function network for control tasks. In these networks, the software models complex reaction chemistry for electrochemical processes, heterogeneous catalysis, or homogeneous gas reactions.
This allows you to design and optimize both subsystems and the overall system in a network in detail.
Our full-vehicle thermal models, developed in AVL CRUISE™ M, allow us to quickly evaluate design concepts and projected performance of thermal management components in next-generation BEVs. Using system simulation in CRUISE M, we can define realistic operating conditions early in the development process and efficiently manage the evolution of specifications through the development stages.
