Integrate Simcenter Amesim into your global design process Simcenter Amesim 16 relies on extended capabilities in the CAD Import tool, which enables users to automati- cally generate system simulation models from computer-aided design (CAD) for various physical domains. This applies to lubrication, cooling/air condi- tioning, multibody systems, pumps, gas dynamics, torsional analysis, environ- mental control, landing and fuel systems.

Bringing electrical vehicles to market is also a critical part of your engineering challenges. With the new capabilities in Simcenter Amesim 16, you can validate electrical systems performance with advanced multilevel modeling. Reducing models from finite element method (FEM) solutions to system simu- lation has been extended to wound rotor synchronous machine (WRSM), for accurate representation of electrical and mechanical behavior with reduced com- putation time. Additionally, maximizing battery perfor- mance from concept design to control validation is a key focus.
