Download: AVL White Paper – AVL E-Motor Tool™ – Bridge the Gaps in E-Motor Development Workflow

Electrification is one of the greatest challenges in the automotive industry. Development processes that rely heavily on simulation have been honed over time for conventional powertrains, but they could also be applied to e-drive development. However, some gaps specifically related to the e-drive development, must be bridged to ensure a smooth development process.

While electric drive systems are mechanically less complex than internal combustion engines, they pose new requirements in terms of noise, vibration and harshness (NVH). Engineers are faced with the challenge of optimizing the acoustic behavior of the e-drive while meeting efficiency targets.

Simulation with a Virtual Twin, a model that captures all the physics that influence NVH, ensures that the final e-drive will be on target. With the support of the AVL E-Motor Tool (EMT), parameterization of the simulation model is fast and easy. It provides the quality needed for high-fidelity NVH prediction and optimization. Furthermore, the E-Motor-Tool enables instant generation of an e-motor concept based on just a few requirements that can be used in the early stages of development.
