Engine Control

LMS Imagine.Lab Engine Control is an integrated solution to design robust engine controls. From design to validation, it provides a toolset to manage the growing complexity of engine control strategies and drive assistance technologies directly linked to the engine. The solution is based on strong modeling competence and a thorough understanding of the system physics.

LMS Imagine.Lab Engine Control is a complete and integrated solution to design and set up robust engine controls. From design to validation, it provides a relevant toolset to manage the growing complexity of engine control strategies and drive assistance technologies directly linked to the engine (speed regulation, gearbox). LMS Imagine.Lab Engine Control goes further than the classical “automatic” control approach, and provides a unique methodology for control design. The solution is mainly based on a strong modeling competence and a thorough understanding of the system physics.

OEMs and suppliers, engine manufacturers, engine control designers and testers (HIL test-benches) will be able to use state-of-the-art engine models, suitable for every stage from design to validation, as well as in real time. By using LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim throughout the development process, project engineers can implement and capitalize on their own modeling know-how, and share models to gain time and efficiency. Model accuracy and real–time analysis are no longer incompatible.

LMS Imagine.Lab Engine Control comes with a set of cutting-edge components:

The LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim core platform
Control-specific interfaces (Simulink and Real-Time)
Links with market reference software : Simulink (Mathworks), Morphee2 (D2T), LabView RT (NI)
Standard and specific libraries and components/models
Analysis tools and methodologies for model reduction

For more specific usage, detailed models of engine subsystems are available (injection, air loop, driveline, thermal, electrical actuators and motors) as well as analysis tools to study the combustion process in real time.

Implementing LMS Imagine.Lab Engine Control helps engineers reduce time to market (gain in efficiency) and design/validation costs (mainly reduce testing needs) while improving quality and robustness (better physical understanding, increase validation capacity). It offers unrivalled model-based, multi-domain system simulation within a single simulation platform, both in the design and validation process (Hardware-in-the-Loop and Software-in-the-Loop).

LMS Imagine.Lab Engine Control has been developed in close collaboration with IFP, ensuring delivery of cutting-edge, innovative and robust solutions.

Features

Engine models running offline/online (real time)
A chain of models with associated methodology, suitable for every stage of the design process
Non-linear engine models based on physics (including phenomenological combustion models)
Several model levels available for most components (to find the best compromise between detailed description and CPU time)
Engine model can be linked to other AMESim model libraries (cooling system, transmission) to obtain a comprehensive model
Compatibility with major hardware manufacturers for real-time simulation (Mathworks, NI, D2T…)

Benefits
