Thermal & Energy Management
Industries Automotive Engineering

Finite element and CFD simulation tools can be used to model and analyze the thermal behavior of various components such as engines, batteries, and power electronics.

These simulations can help to identify potential hot spots and optimize cooling systems to ensure components operate within safe temperature limits. They can also be used to investigate energy recovery and thermal management strategies such as waste heat recovery, exhaust gas recirculation, and active cooling systems.

By optimizing powertrain energy management strategies, automotive engineers can improve fuel economy, reduce pollutant emissions, and ultimately enhance vehicle performance.

The wider discipline

Automotive Engineering

We focus on strategic use of CAE to Optimise Designs, investigate and resolve problems, and minimise time and cost to market. Advanced geartrain modelling and analysis software packages, provides the foundation of concept and definitive design for all driveline and transmission projects that we undertake.

Powertrain component development involves the design and optimization of various components such as engines, transmissions, and axles. FEA and CFD-based simulation can be used to evaluate the structural integrity, fluid dynamics, and thermal performance of these components, allowing engineers to optimize designs and improve performance.
