COMSOL Day: Vehicle Electrification
See what is possible with multiphysics modeling
By enabling researchers and engineers to understand, design, and optimize devices and processes, modeling and simulation can make design and R&D more efficient. In the field of vehicle electrification, multiphysics simulation can be used to study batteries, fuel cells, power electronics devices, motors, and drivetrains.
At COMSOL Day: Vehicle Electrification, scientists and engineers in the industry will present how they have incorporated modeling and simulation into their work.
In addition, COMSOL engineers will demonstrate important concepts in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software that are essential for studying the devices and processes used for vehicle electrification. They will also explain how built-in tools for centrally organizing model files and data and building simulation apps enable COMSOL Multiphysics users to collaborate on modeling projects with an extended community of scientists and engineers.
Schedule
The COMSOL Multiphysics® software has become widely used for modeling and simulation in the field of vehicle electrification due to its multiphysics modeling capabilities.
The software is used for the research and design of electric motors, generators, battery systems, cables, power electronics, and hydrogen fuel cells. In addition, it is widely used for understanding and optimizing heat transfer and thermal management processes and designs. Its unique features for creating standalone simulation apps based on multiphysics models and surrogate models have enabled larger groups of engineers and scientists within an organization to benefit from modeling and simulation.
Attend this session to get an overview of the use of multiphysics models, simulation apps, digital twins, and surrogate models in the field of vehicle electrification. This session will also provide an overview of the topics that will be covered during this COMSOL Day.
Designing electric motors with high efficiency and power density is important for extending range and reducing battery capacity requirements. The COMSOL Multiphysics® software, along with its AC/DC Module, enables detailed modeling and simulation of electric motors as well as drivetrain technology, leading to improved designs.
For example, synchronous permanent magnet and asynchronous motors — as well as more recently researched alternatives such as synchronous reluctance or axial flux motors — can be modeled and optimized in COMSOL Multiphysics®. The software's capability to effectively capture multiphysics effects and apply powerful optimization techniques has empowered designers to improve efficiency and decrease costs, making it indispensable to many R&D departments in the industry.
In this session, we will discuss the functionality of COMSOL Multiphysics® and the AC/DC Module and demonstrate how they can be used in the R&D of electric motors and drivetrains.
Tech Lunches are informal sessions where you can interact with COMSOL staff and other attendees. You will be able to discuss any modeling-related topic that you like and have the opportunity to ask COMSOL technology product managers and applications engineers your questions. Join us!
The use of modeling and simulation (M&S) is highly effective for studying the design and operation of battery systems. The COMSOL Multiphysics® software and its add-on Battery Design Module provide comprehensive and specialized functionality for describing batteries and electrochemical cells. The software also features multiphysics capabilities for coupling the electrochemistry within a battery with structural stress effects due to intercalation, heat generation, heat transfer, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Multiphysics models can be utilized to investigate thermal management and thermal runaway in individual cells as well as in battery modules and packs consisting of hundreds of cells.
In this session, you’ll learn about the capabilities of the (:comsol} software for modeling and simulating battery energy storage systems (BESSs) in stationary applications as well as battery cells and packs for automotive applications.
The widespread shift to green energy, including vehicle electrification, has increased the demand for power electronics devices such as power optimizers, converters, rectifiers, amplifiers, and switches.
The AC/DC Module and Semiconductor Module add-ons to COMSOL Multiphysics® provide specialized functionality for modeling these devices. In addition to enabling lumped circuit extraction, the software’s multiphysics capabilities allow users to include thermal and structural effects when designing integrated circuits and discrete devices such as metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs).
Join us in this session to learn more about the capabilities of the COMSOL® software for modeling and simulating components in power electronics. We will give an overview of how the AC/DC Module and Semiconductor Module are used for modeling and simulation of power electronics devices.
The COMSOL Multiphysics® software provides comprehensive functionality for research, development, and design in the field of electrification. It offers efficient modeling and simulation capabilities for studying a wide range of physics phenomena, as well as features for creating standalone simulation apps.
The Application Builder and COMSOL Compiler™ enable larger groups of scientists and engineers to benefit from simulations through the use of standalone apps. The latest release of COMSOL Multiphysics® contains functionality for creating surrogate models trained on data generated from high-fidelity multiphysics models. Once trained, these surrogate models can be very compact and lightning fast, making them suitable for use in simulation apps and digital twins.
In this session, you’ll learn about the COMSOL® software’s capabilities for creating simulation apps and digital twins.
