LMS Imagine.Lab Vehicle Thermal Management

LMS Imagine.Lab Vehicle Thermal Management provides tools and libraries to study the energy flows under the hood and within the cabin, which are directly or indirectly contributing to pollutant emissions, fuel consumption, engine performance and passenger comfort. It helps engineers focus on interactions between different subsystems to find the best compromises for energy flow management.

LMS Imagine.Lab Vehicle Thermal Management provides a dedicated set of tools and libraries to study the energy flows under the hood and within the cabin, which are directly or indirectly contributing to pollutant emissions, fuel consumption, engine performance and passenger comfort. It helps engineers to focus on the interactions between different subsystems (lubrication, cooling, exhaust line, combustion chamber, engine thermal masses, air conditioning, electric auxiliaries, cabin and vehicle) to find the best compromises for energy flow management (thermal, thermal-fluids, electrical and mechanical).

LMS Imagine.Lab Vehicle Thermal Management, based on multi-physical component libraries, offers a decisive approach to control the energy flows.

Furthermore, LMS Imagine.Lab Vehicle Thermal Management helps analyze the influence of new generation subsystems (heat pump systems, energy storage systems, heat recovery system) or components (electric pumps, controlled valves, immersion heaters) on the overall system behavior and especially on fuel consumption, pollutant emissions and passenger comfort.

LMS Imagine.Lab Vehicle Thermal Management provides a cost effective alternative to prototypes so that virtual vehicle subsystems integration can be easily and rapidly studied. It is fully integrated into the LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim platform, and therefore takes advantage of its flexibility and its multi-domain modeling capabilities.

Features

Basic element approach for each subsystem (higher flexibility, higher degree of freedom in the modeling)
Advanced application components
Model design including subsystems connection and interaction
Off-the-shelf pre-existing models for vehicle thermal management subsystems: vehicle model, air-conditioning, exhaust, cabin environment, and electric consumers

Benefits

Efficient and low cost alternative to prototyping or test rigging
Easy to study subsystem integration
Modeling of energy flows under the hood and in the cabin into a single environment
Fast validation of existing vehicle architectures
Anticipate architecture changes on potential gains in passenger comfort, fuel consumption and pollutant emissions

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

diesel engines modeling design software 3.gif Delphi cuts next-generation diesel engines ECU development time with LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim

Messier-Bugatti optimized the A380 nosewheel steering and braking system with LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim

To save weight on the A380 superjumbo aircraft, Messier-Bugatti used LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim and the Ground Loads solution to design an innovative decentralized hydraulic generation system with lightweight micro-pumps delivering power locally to emergency braking and landing gear steering systems.

Renault applies AMESim to streamline its cooling and air-conditioning systems development process

To comply with the multiple constraints relative to vehicle designs that affect the thermal management of underhood systems, and to ensure high-quality passenger comfort, Renault decided to rely more on simulation to engineer the underhood thermal environment. The French car maker deployed the AMESim solution as a collaborative system simulation platform.
