Model-Based Calibration Toolbox 3.7

Working with the Model-Based Calibration Toolbox

The Model-Based Calibration Toolbox supports the three key steps of powertrain calibration:

• Designing an efficient test
• Processing data and producing engine response models
• Performing the calibration

Designing the Test

The Model-Based Calibration Toolbox enables you to design a test plan based on Design of Experiments, a methodology that saves test time by letting you perform only those tests that are needed to determine the shape of your engine response.

The toolbox offers a full range of proven experimental designs, including:

• Classical: Box-Behnken, Central-Composite, and Full Factorial
• Space-filling: Latin Hypercube and Lattice
• Optimal: V, D, and A optimality criteria

You can use the experimental design to define the test points to be run in an engine dynamometer. You can then bring the test data into the Model-Based Calibration Toolbox to develop engine models.

Managing Designs

The Design Editor in the Model-Based Calibration Toolbox lets you generate, augment, and visually compare designs without needing to know the detailed mathematics of Design of Experiments.
