Refining Automotive Battery Management Systems with Lumped-Approach Thermal Modeling
India’s transportation sector is pursuing ambitious electrification goals, and so manufacturers must optimize battery management systems (BMS). Exicom uses multiphysics simulation to understand the thermal behavior of battery packs, which helps to calibrate vehicle BMS designs. Per saperne di più
How Decaying Shells Help Preserve the Alkalinity of the Seas
Decaying seashells can release calcium carbonates, which help neutralize carbon dioxide in seawater. But ocean acidification threatens the shell formation process. Olivier Sulpis of Utrecht University has developed a novel reactive-transport model of deep-sea galvanization processes. Per saperne di più
Fine-Tuning the Factory: A Simulation App Helps Optimize an Additive Manufacturing Facility
Britain's Manufacturing Technology Centre, along with partners in the aerospace sector, has built an on-site powder bed fusion facility — and also developed a simulation model and app to help factory staff make informed decisions about its operation. Per saperne di più
