Powertrain Perfected: From Early Architecture to Optimized Design with Ansys ConceptEV

ABOUT THIS WEBINAR:

Achieving peak performance in a battery electric vehicle (BEV) powertrain demands a holistic, system-level design approach, where every component is engineered in unison as part of an integrated architecture. This unified design strategy is essential for unlocking maximum efficiency, extending driving range, reducing overall cost and weight, and accelerating charging speed. Early-stage system simulations are vital—they enable the rapid and precise alignment of vehicle performance targets with component specifications, driving toward an optimal, high-impact solution.

This webinar will showcase a BEV powertrain concept design platform tailored for large-scale design space exploration. Focusing on a dual-motor electrified pickup truck, the platform integrates models of the vehicle, electrical machine, inverter, battery, and transmission into a unified simulation environment. Through iterative electrical system optimization and the application of advanced control algorithms for motor operation, gear selection, and power distribution, the platform enables the fully automated exploration of thousands of design configurations. The results deliver true Pareto fronts, revealing globally optimized trade-offs between component-level choices and system-level performance targets.
