AVL CRUISE M

Multi-physical simulation platform for powertrain systems

Highlights

  • Optimization of vehicle and vehicle components (fuel economy, vehicle performance)
  • Extensive variety of vehicle and powertrain configurations possible
  • Evaluation of new vehicle concepts (e.g., hybrid electric vehicle, fuel cell)
  • Analysis of transient powertrain effects
  • Design of vehicle thermal management systems
  • Intelligent driver module for realistic reproduction of vehicle behavior

Description

AVL CRUISE™ M is a multi-physical simulation platform specialized for powertrain system simulations. It is used to configure and benchmark powertrain concepts, select and size components, and optimize powertrain systems in different domains like the mechanical driveline, electric networks and thermal sub-systems. Any powertrain type can be simulated like IC engine based, hybrid or pure electric.

The numerical solver of CRUISE M is combined with a highly flexible and detailed modeling approach, open to third-party tools and interface standards (FMI). This allows the re-use of CRUISE M subsystem and overall vehicle models anywhere in the powertrain development process: from efficiency studies and performance analysis, to validation and calibration on real-time Hardware in the Loop (HiL) and test systems.

CRUISE M models can be loaded into MATLAB and Simulink via a CMC S-function target export (S-function for Windows or S-function for Linux). This target produces an FMU archive which contains the exported model. Model parametrization is hidden since it is compiled into a binary. The exported FMU can be loaded in an S-function Simulink block or in a FMU Simulink block. Furthermore, MATLAB defined controllers can be embedded in the CRUISE M system simulation signal network i.e.,  an electric motor controller.
