The development of new vehicle powertrains and components poses many challenges to the automotive industry. In this dynamic environment, powertrain simulation plays a crucial role. We contribute to innovative solutions by accurately predicting fuel consumption and emissions.

Fatigue analysis is critical to predicting the fatigue life of components under real loads. These analyses ensure reliability and safety in a wide range of industries, from automotive to wind turbines.

We have the ideal solution for all these tasks.

Simulation of Powertrain, Fuel Consumption, Emissions and Vibrations with winEVA

Real-Time Control of Test Rigs with winEVA

Our winEVA software is used for the real-time control of test rigs.
The online test rig control in winEVA enables the specification of realistic driving manoeuvres under representative loads on the powertrain components and takes into account the requirements of electrified drive systems.

Further Development of E-Bikes with winEVA

We are supporting Aalen University in the further development of e-bikes.
With our software winEVA we simulate the non-uniformity of the drive torque via the pedals and implement the typical electric motor control and rider shifting behaviour of an e-bike in winEVA. The measured data from different e-bike rides are used as the route.

Fatigue Life Analysis with winLIFE

We use computational prediction to analyse the fatigue life of a wide range of components, from vehicles to wind turbines.
For the design and calculation of new types of vehicle components, we apply finite element methods and fatigue life prediction. Structural fatigue analysis is performed with FEM and MKS systems to find the optimum solution from a wide range of options.
For these services, we have developed the winLIFE software tool, which is successfully used by our customers.
We advise and support our customers from the purchase of the winLIFE software to the realisation of their projects. We also analyse questions of damage analysis.

Realistic Driving Cycles with winADAM

Realistic driving cycles are of great importance for the prediction of fatigue life, emissions and fuel consumption. The winADAM data acquisition system has been specially developed for this purpose and records video and position data in addition to various driving dynamics and mechanical parameters. A special measurement vehicle (MB EQA 250) is available for driving tests.

The development of new types of vehicle powertrains and vehicle components presents the automotive industry with numerous challenges.
Our winEVA software provides our customers with a powerful tool that simulates the processes in the powertrain and delivers meaningful data on fuel consumption, emissions and vibrations. winEVA is used for the development of powertrains with piston engines, gas turbines, electric motors with battery storage or fuel cells, hybrid drives, etc.

Test rigs are also controlled in real time with winEVA. The online test rig control in winEVA enables the specification of realistic driving manoeuvres under representative loads of the powertrain components and takes into account the requirements of electrified drive systems.

Realistic driving cycles are essential for predicting fatigue life, emissions and fuel consumption. The winADAM measurement data acquisition system was developed for this purpose. Installed in every vehicle in just 1 minute, winADAM collects extensive data without additional sensors.

To calculate the fatigue life of a wide range of components, from vehicles to wind turbines, our customers have access to winLIFE, a reliable software with various modules. Structural analyses with regard to fatigue life are carried out with FEM and MKS systems in order to find the best one from the multitude of possibilities. Data from other FE programmes are read in via a flexible interface.
