Thermal management is of paramount importance for electrification as the automotive industry aggressively transitions to electric vehicles. To meet range demands and reduce charging times, more battery energy is being packed into vehicles with increased charging current during DCFC. Consequently, heat generation from electric vehicles keeps rising. The development of an advanced thermal management system to keep pace with heat generation from the battery becomes increasingly challenging as the battery temperature must be within a narrow window to be efficient. Additional challenges come from protecting the battery system during the event of thermal runaway. Multiple physics analyses and simulations play an important role in overcoming these challenges while developing a thermal system. The insights gained from these simulations allow thermal engineers to learn faster and select the right technologies. The high-fidelity simulation also enables the full system to be optimized virtually to shorten development time.

With the arrival of software-defined vehicles, the need to virtualize every step of development became a necessity. At Ford, we are transforming software production pipelines using end-to-end simulation deployment horizontally across all software products and vertically across all platforms. The goal is to iterate fast on creating a fantastic driving experience along with a strong quality and safety compliance.
