Transmission Comfort

The main challenge for today’s car and truck manufacturers is to increase their vehicles’ performance, while reducing fuel consumption pollutants emissions. At the same time, the vehicle’s comfort needs to be increased. LMS Imagine.Lab Transmission Comfort helps to accelerate the complete powertrain design. It guarantees maximum driver comfort through optimal shift transmission quality and provides a good torque applied to vehicles from engine through driveline. With LMS Imagine.Lab Transmission Comfort, users can comprehensively study the entire physics and control strategies of gear shifting for every kind of vehicle architecture (gearbox, driveline and engines) to improve comfort and avoid bad oscillations (0-40Hz). 

Every classical or “exotic” vehicle architecture can be computed with a flexible toolset that is included in the various structured libraries of physical models and consists of different complexity levels (from complex models validated at 40Hz to real time models).

LMS Imagine.Lab Transmission Comfort provides a comprehensive, flexible development framework ranging from design to validation and control. Thanks to off-the-shelf component libraries, users have access to graphical multi-physics system design, simulation and analysis in a single environment. The solution handles various levels of engine behavior (cold start, starter, etc.) and any kind of transmission (hybrid, DCT, IVT, AT, MT, CVT…). Users can combine all possible components in a gearbox, driveline or engine and subsequently analyze the total system design, thereby focusing on the comfort impact of defined strategies. The solution further offers to connect engine acyclism and vehicle driveline databases. Frequency analysis tools (modal shapes, eigenvalues, FFT, etc.) as well as the AMESet provide an accurate environment to represent physical details of a specific component design.

Covering a range of industries, LMS application cases let you discover how LMS solutions help our customers solve their real-life engineering challenges.
