Institute for Energy and Automation Technology at the TU Berlin
DYNA4 Engine Themos is used at the Chair of Electronic Measurement and Diagnostic Technology. The aim is to obtain information on engine characteristics in a short time through the use of dynamic, data-based modeling approaches. At the same time, the modeling approach is also applied on HiL test stands.

Chair of Vehicle Engineering at the TU Munich (FTM)
At this institute, veDYNA is used in the laboratory “Real-time capable vehicle dynamics simulation in R&D". Here, the students can gain experience in a major field of the modern vehicle development process. veDYNA is also used in HiL test benches for ESP and active steering systems. Scientific projects are being executed within Bachelor and Master theses on the interaction of complex control systems.

Research Center for Vehicle Control and Mechatronics at the TU Istanbul (AUTOCOM)
At AUTOCOM, enDYNA is used in lectures on vehicle system dynamics and vehicle control systems both in basic and advanced courses. For term papers as well as design and research projects, enDYNA serves as a development platform for control units in HiL environments, especially for commercial vehicles.

Institute of Mechatronics at the University of Reutlingen
The FH Reutlingen is working with a driving simulator based on a hexapod motion platform including a “smart” vehicle body and a self-developed force feedback steering wheel. veDYNA is used for the simulation of the vehicle dynamics; the visualization is based on DYNAanimation combined with a three-projector system for the most realistic driver impression. The simulator is used in teaching courses in order to demonstrate all steps of ECU development right through to HiL tests.

Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Regensburg
At the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Regensburg, students now have the opportunity to use their own driving simulator. In the Bachelor lecture course on “Vehicle Dynamics” and the Master lecture course on “Simulation of Motor Vehicles”, theoretical knowledge can now be conveyed in a more illustrative manner using the simulator. Due to the integration of veDYNA in the simulator, the dynamics of virtual test vehicles can now be realistically illustrated. As a result, students can, for example, examine the behavior of different chassis properties in different driving maneuvers.

The Automotive Research Center of the University of Michigan
The Automotive Research Center of the University of Michigan develops novel approaches for the optimum calibration of diesel engines in real time for improved fuel efficiency.
Learning control units calculate the optimum injection timing depending on individual driving styles. This technique has been developed using the thermodynamic engine model enDYNA Themos.
