The Digital Vehicle for Fast and Sustainable Development

Our goal with every ESI Live is to make sense of the role and value of Virtual Prototyping featuring practical success cases that give actionable advice on how to get inspired and create new ways of thinking.

Daimler Presentation Overview:

Daimler Truck has created a global platform for virtual vehicle and powertrain function development. The platform includes a digital collaboration framework where models of vehicle subsystems are combined to modules that represent the physical and controls behavior of a real truck. Depending on the actual task different levels of model accuracy and runtime requirements can be selected, starting from simple 0-dimensional up to complex 3-dimensional FE computation.

Various applications of the platform are already an integral part of the development process and save time and costs as well as provide options that cannot be covered by testing. A virtual engine test bench, the co-simulation of a multi-body vehicle model with a control module and the extension of the platform to 3D applications for safety system simulations are examples for the use of the platform.

If you are interested in seeing more virtual testing examples from our ESI Live 2022 digital event, there is no need to worry! You can now watch on-demand to experience our featured speakers from top industry-leading companies.
