Abstract

As electric vehicles become increasingly more mainstream, an increasing level of refinement is required for a modern driving experience. As efficiency and NVH targets become increasingly more stringent, an integrated CAE modeling approach is required to predict system behavior early in the development cycle. This integrated CAE approach requires multi-disciplinary modeling, of electromagnetics, mechanics, and thermal systems together. While these analyses may typically be managed by different engineers, or even different departments, there is a growing need for increased collaboration. This presentation will detail several avenues for increased collaboration of motor integration to improve NVH behavior.
