The relationship between vehicle range and occupant comfort is an important consideration for EVs. Effective HVAC controllers are critical for maintaining the optimum occupant comfort while preserving vehicle range. Maintaining occupant comfort is more challenging for commercial vehicles; where the vehicle is large and has many occupancy configurations. In this webinar, you will learn how to accurately simulate this tradeoff using a coupled transient simulation with TAITherm and GT-SUITE.

Join us as Daniel and Allison, two of our talented thermal and CFD engineers, walk you through the new features and enhancements in our TAITherm and CoTherm software. This webinar will include demonstrations inside our software and Q&A following the presentation.

Environmental effects, cabin HVAC efficiency, and battery thermal management are just a few of the variables that contribute to electric vehicle range reduction.  Join us as we explore common EV cabin studies with our TAITherm software.  We will also show you how the Human Thermal Extension can be utilized to improve vehicle designs for shorter passenger time to comfort, while reducing energy consumption.

Coupling between TAITherm and the open-Source CFD software, HELYX, enables more realistic representations of complex systems to yield more accurate predictions. With this process, both steady-state and transient coupling scenarios can be applied. Using CoTherm, these tools are coupled seamlessly, offering OpenFOAM technology and processes within CoTherm’s usable interface. During the webinar, TAITherm coupling with HELYX through CoTherm will be presented, with specific application towards a coupled engine thermal protection case using the DrivAer SUV model and a detailed engine compartment.

As battery technologies advance and consumers expect extended range and shorter charge times, using transient thermal simulation to predict battery performance has become increasingly crucial. Join us as Dr. Zachary Edel, one of our senior research engineers, demonstrates how you can leverage our TAITherm software and Battery Extension to accurately predict battery performance, lifetime, and safety in a wide range of real-world environmental conditions.

Curious what’s new in our latest software release? In the first release this year we have included a batch of features and enhancements to both programs to increase usability and productivity in your workflows. We have also deployed a new naming convention for easier recognition of the software versions. Our two annual releases are marked by the year and the version (2020.1, 2020.2). This coincides with our company rebrand, which you will see reflected in the software icons and welcome screens. Join us and follow along as one of our engineers presents what’s new, including demonstrations in the software.

Industries are shifting to electrification across product lines, posing considerable challenges for engineers working to implement the new technology. In this webinar, you will learn how to surpass your electrification goals with thermal simulation. Zach, our in-house battery expert will take you inside our software to show you how to meet safety, reliability and lifetime requirements for the best design possible.

In this webinar we will cover: 

• Tracking moisture transportation and accumulation using the new moisture transport feature
• Better sensation and comfort results with new segments added to the Berkeley Comfort Model
• Reducing model setup time and removing the margin for error by setting up your battery model in the main application
• Creating a more efficient workflow using the new subprocess group in CoTherm

The exhaust system generates the most heat in a vehicle, making it the most complex system and requiring highly accurate thermal modeling. This webinar will walk through the process of maximizing this system using the advanced methods of muffler chamber modeling. These methods are designed to increase fidelity in your models and reduce set-up and solve times for complex muffler simulations.

Watch this webinar to learn how to simulate complex scenarios by coupling thermal and CFD codes in our powerful CoTherm software. Daniel, our Thermal & CFD Engineer, dives deeper into CoTherm using a real-world key-off example giving you an up-close look at which inputs you need to automate simulations, and how to analyze transient coupled results.
