Automotive Electrical Systems

SystemVision™ addresses Automotive Electrical Systems technology challenges including:

• Increased Vehicle Mechatronic Content
  • Dynamic (non-electrical) Loads
  • Thermal in-rush effects
  • Motor Controls
  • Electro-magnetic Sensors and Actuators
• Dual Voltage System Architecture Design
  • Dynamic Load analysis
  • DC/DC converter design
  • Alternator/Regulator design
• Functional Design and Analysis
  • Sneak Circuit Detection
  • Digital Control strategies
• Communication Systems
  • CAN Bus
  • Flexray

Using SystemVision, the system designer can graphically assemble these devices together into a "virtual prototype" and use simulation to perform the critical analyses needed to help ensure a successful automotive electrical system design, including:

• Optimize wire and fuse sizing using dynamic load analysis
• Design and analyze dual voltage systems using multi-level modeling techniques
• Perform Sneak Circuit Analysis by utilizing built-in model diagnostics
• Design complete charging systems including alternator and regulator designs
• Analyze thermal effects like in-rush current in complex lighting and fusing systems
• Design control strategies and test sequences with digital modeling capabilities
• Analyze multiplex bus systems like CANBUS, Flexray, and others
