Simcenter FLOEFD provides capabilities for modeling various aspects of electric vehicles, including battery design, motor thermal management, and inverter analysis. It allows multiphysics modeling incorporating thermal, electrical, electromagnetic, and structural effects. The document describes battery, electrical circuit, and electromagnetic models in Simcenter FLOEFD and their applications to electric vehicle component design and testing.
36. PCB Structural: SmartPCB FEM
A special SmartPCB FEM model allows for accurate and time effective stress analysis of a PCB taking all the
details of the PCB’s internal structure from an original EDA file (traces and vias are resolved without any
simplification) into account without creating the explicit geometry in CAD.
