About the Program

This program focuses on the application of modeling and simulation techniques throughout the electric vehicle development lifecycle. Participants will explore 1D and 3D simulation approaches, vehicle system modeling, battery and motor simulations, digital twin concepts, virtual validation strategies, and controller testing methodologies. The curriculum combines theoretical concepts with practical tutorials to help learners understand how virtual engineering tools support faster, safer, and more efficient EV development.

Key Topics Include:

Model-Based Development Fundamentals: Understanding the need for virtual development, system modeling approaches, and the role of simulation in modern vehicle engineering.
1D & 3D Vehicle Simulations: Vehicle and subsystem validation using 1D simulations, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques.
Virtual Validation & Vehicle Specification Development: Translating vehicle requirements into specifications, developing validation plans, and evaluating performance using simulation-driven methodologies.
Vehicle Dynamics & Driver Modeling: Static, kinematic, and dynamic vehicle models, driver behaviour simulation, duty cycle creation, and parameterised vehicle modeling.
Motor, Battery & Regenerative Braking Models: Development of motor models, battery models, regenerative braking simulations, and energy flow analysis using industry-standard tools.
Battery Digital Twins & Advanced Battery Modeling: Introduction to battery chemical modeling, multi-physics simulation concepts, and digital twin approaches for battery performance prediction and lifecycle management.
Vehicle System Integration & Control Validation: Integration of vehicle subsystems, driver tuning, controller validation, and system-level performance optimisation.
MIL, SIL & HIL Testing Frameworks: Understanding Model-in-the-Loop (MIL), Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) methodologies for controller development and verification.

This program equips learners with the knowledge and practical skills required to develop, simulate, validate, and optimise electric vehicle systems using modern virtual engineering and model-based development techniques.
