DYNA4 can be used for a wide range of applications, depending on the integrated models. Typical examples are:

Applications throughout the development process

  • Model-based design, function development
  • Testing and pre-calibration in SIL and HIL environments
  • Fail-safe and functional tests, including evaluation of vehicle response and drivability
  • Components-in-the-loop in physical or virtual component test rigs, e.g. for engines, suspension, steering, tires and dampers
  • Fast parameter studies and optimization of vehicle components, e.g. drive train concepts, steering system and axle suspension
  • Fundamental analyses and variant studies of single or interconnected vehicle controllers or components

→ Covered by every DYNA4 simulation solution

Advanced powertrain development and energy management

  • Fuel efficiency simulation for hybrid (HEV), electric (EV) or traditional vehicles
  • Analysis and optimization of operation strategies for fuel efficiency and driving performance
  • Function development, e.g. for hybrid drive torque coordination, engine start/stop or regenerative braking
  • Navigation data-based, predictive functions, e.g. for battery SOC management
  • Energy and thermal management, e.g. for electric system voltage stability, battery or inverter temperature control

→ Suitable simulation package: DYNA4 Advanced Powertrain

Engine design and control

  • Evaluation of conceptual design for gasoline, diesel and alternative fuels
  • Function development and calibration of controllers, e.g. for supercharging, variable valve actuation, EGR or HCCI
  • HIL tests, e.g. for engine controllers with cylinder pressure sensing or controllers for exhaust gas aftertreatment
  • Car engines, high rev motorsport, heavy-duty or marine engines

→ Suitable simulation package: DYNA4 Engine Themos

Vehicle dynamics and drive train development

  • Standard test maneuvers using a virtual prototype
  • Optimization of vehicle dynamics performance
  • Active safety systems such as global chassis control, ESP/ESC or trailer stabilization
  • Steering systems: design and testing of electric power steering and active steering systems
  • Ride comfort: air suspension, active damper control
  • Drive systems such as active stability control, modern 4WD configurations or active torque differentials
  • Roll over protection, roll control, sky hook control, load leveling
  • Driving simulators

Driver assistance systems

  • Radar, ultrasonic and camera-based systems
  • Integrated safety systems, e.g. adaptive cruise control, lane change assistant and collision warning
  • Testing of camera systems in the lab using 3D graphics and virtual environment, e.g. lane departure warning and traffic sign recognition
  • Testing of other assistance systems, such as blind spot detection, pedestrian protection, parking assistant, adaptive headlights, bend lighting

→ Suitable simulation package: DYNA4 Driver Assistance

Commercial Vehicles

  • Stability investigations in critical driving situations, e.g. roll-over protection, skidding prevention
  • Safety analyses of commercial vehicles subject to road disturbances, e.g. lane grooves and patches of different road surfaces
  • Pre-calibration of control devices on the hardware-in-the-loop simulator
  • Development and hardware-in-the-loop testing of vehicle dynamics controllers for truck and trailer stabilization
  • Integration tests in laboratory vehicles
  • Homologation of ECUs for commercial vehicles
