Designing Thermally Secured Electric Motors with Simulation
Component-Level Design & Analysis for Motor Thermal Security Most of today’s traction motors in battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) that use interior permanent magnet (IPM) rotors with rare-earth magnets embedded in the rotor (automotive companies are starting to explore or even build other technologies, but that is a topic for […]
How to Perform Battery Electric Vehicle Range Testing Using Simulation
Streamlining BEV Drive Cycles Welcome to the second blog of this two-part series on how simulation platforms such as GT-SUITE can streamline the various drive cycles of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) to determine the range and adjustment factors. Read part one to learn more about how electric vehicle (EV) range guidelines are currently determined here. […]
Calculating Electric Vehicle Range with Simulation
How is Electric Vehicle Range Tested? Range anxiety is one of the biggest concerns of consumers when it comes to looking to purchase an electric vehicle (EV). Because of this, manufacturers of EVs need to have accurate range predictions to build trust and quell range anxiety. The determination of range for battery electric vehicles (BEV) […]
