STAGE 1: SYSTEM-LEVEL ANALYSIS AND MODELING

Amplify your knowledge of your existing powertrain system through our comprehensive system-level analysis and modeling.

Common activities in this stage include:

• Comprehensive review of existing system-level requirements

• Detailed review of applicable industry standards to be included in your powertrain system requirements

• Development of precise powertrain system-level models to predict performance of your current system, optimize system-level control parameters, and aid in further robustifying your present system allowing for near-term deadlines to be met.

STAGE 2: SYSTEM DESIGN AND RISK ANALYSIS

Optimize your powertrain system's performance with our expert design modifications and comprehensive risk assessment.

Common activities in this stage include:

• Implementation of the V-model development cycle and system-level requirements definition for efficient conception, design, verification, and maintenance of your system.

• Comprehensive system-level architecture and design, management, and documentation for optimal integration and performance.

• Execution of comprehensive fault responses and FMEA to enhance system robustness, identify potential failure modes, assess risks, and implement preventive actions.

• Use of advanced models and controllers to optimize the powertrain system's overall performance to desired conditions.


STAGE 3: DEVELOP
IN-HOUSE CAPABILITY

Build a sustainable future for your company with our capacity-building approach, equipping you with the tools and team to handle future design optimizations.

Common activities in this stage include:

• Setting up detailed analysis tools (e.g. in Simulink) to thoroughly analyze designed system behavior.

• Implementation of population-based multi-objective optimization techniques to refine system design and maximize performance given a known set of constraints.

• Set up design cycles in high-performance computing clusters to optimize future designs in a timely manner

• Assistance in recruitment and development of an expert in-house Powertrain Team, including a Powertrain Systems Group. .

Elevate your motor drive's performance with our practical, build-to-print manufacturer-approved design alterations.

Common activities in this stage include:

• Propose design changes to customize behavior and enhance key parameters.

• Focus on maximizing output power, boosting efficiency, increasing torque, and reducing mass.


STAGE 3: DEVELOP
IN-HOUSE CAPABILITY

Build a sustainable future for your company with our capacity-building approach, equipping you with the tools and team to handle future design optimizations.

Common activities in this stage include:

• Set up of detailed motor analysis tools such as 3D Finite Element Analysis (FEA), analytical tools, and high-performance computing.

• Implementation of population-based multi-objective optimization techniques to design the motor considering a large design space and maximizing performance for given a set of constraints.

• Assistance in recruitment and development of an expert in-house Powertrain Team, including a Powertrain Motor Design Group.
