LMS Imagine.Lab Vehicle Dynamics Control

 
With LMS Imagine.Lab Vehicle Dynamics Control, chassis engineers can simulate vehicles, sensors, actuators and the control strategy in a single comprehensive platform, which can be extended to Simulink/RTW for real-time simulation. Via the Simulink interface, the solution can handle high-quality control strategies on detailed models as well as tests on safety-related electronic systems.
 

Vehicle System Dynamics_Vehicle dynamics control_1_Low.jpgWith LMS Imagine.Lab Vehicle Dynamics Control, chassis designers and engineers can simulate vehicles, sensors, actuators and the control strategy in a single comprehensive platform, which can be extended to Simulink/RTW for real-time simulation purposes. Via the Simulink interface, the solution can handle high-quality control strategies on detailed models, as well as tests on safety-related electronic systems (ECU design, testing, robustness and fault diagnosis).



Users can explore functional architectures for vehicle dynamics control to enhance vehicle ride comfort, handle the best compromises and integrate new concepts, all in one single platform. It offers the possibility to explore overlapping functions (interactions of tire, driveline, brake, suspension and steering) and analyses couplings in critical situations in which actuator dynamics are relevant. The platform’s open-ended architecture makes it possible to include customer models/libraries and seamlessly run complex analyses, model reduction and real-time tests.

LMS Imagine.Lab Vehicle Dynamics Control ensures significant productivity gains, maximizes knowledge and minimizes time by using reliable libraries and advanced interfaces with most commonly used third party technologies for controls. Engineers can identify the optimal configuration between vehicle, actuators and controllers, and predict vehicle system response to driver steering, braking, throttling and shifting, road inputs and wind perturbations.      



Features

  • AMESim/Simulink interface (import, export and co-simulation) to couple the ECU model with the plant model
  • Powerful analysis tools for adapting models to specific purposes:
    -     Activity Index
    -     Eigenvalues
    -     Modal Shapes
    -     State Count


Benefits

  • Easy integration of various sub-systems (braking system, power steering, suspension to deliver performance improvements as well as driver support and comfort)
  • Detailed analysis on real-time models
  • Test and validate control strategies on detailed models early in the process of ECU testing



    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.gifDelphi cuts next-generation diesel engines ECU development time with LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim 

    Working together with LMS Imagine.Lab engineering services, Delphi engineers use LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim multi-domain system modeling software to efficiently develop advanced HiL simulators to design and test electronic control units for tomorrow’s fuel-efficient, clean-running diesel engines.

    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.



    air-conditioning amesim renault thermal cooling -1Renault 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.
