Modern engineering is extending its capabilities for end-to-end optimization of full vehicles starting from body structures, chassis, and wheels to powertrain and related analysis. Engineering a robust powertrain is challenging, due to the highly complex, nonlinear, vibratory systems involved. With decades of automotive experience backing us, DEP’s experts team designed MeshWorks for modelling, designing, and scaling the electromagnetic, mechanical, and thermal characteristics of the components in a powertrain architecture. Our optimization methodology for powertrain design and development takes into consideration the cost, manufacturing methods and overall production volumes. By frontloading the powertrain-specific trade-offs at the component and sub-system levels, our holistic approach offers multi-attribute vehicle performance.
