DYNA4 Advanced Powertrain: Simulation of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles

DYNA4 Advanced Powertrain is a modular simulation software for powertrain design in hybrid and electric vehicles. The simulation environment contains the components necessary to configure various drivetrain topologies for:

  • Hybrid electric vehicles from micro to full hybrid
  • Electric vehicles
  • Conventional powertrains

It can be used throughout all development phases: from conceptual function design on the desktop computer (MIL, SIL) to operating tests in real time with hardware-in-the-loop systems (HIL).

Application examples

  • Simulation of driving performance and fuel/energy consumption
  • Function development and testing of hybrid vehicle control units
    e.g. battery management, torque coordination, engine start/stop function, regenerative braking
  • Analysis and optimization of operating strategies
    For component durability, efficiency, dynamics, drivability and reduced emissions
  • Energy and thermal management
    e.g. intelligent alternator control, voltage stability analysis, electric consumer switch-off, analysis of component heat-up, predictive energy management

Function overview

  • Detailed models for mechanical and electric drivetrain components
  • Preconfigured driving cycles, e.g. NEFZ, WLTP and more
  • Ready-to-use examples of various EV and HEV variants
  • Automated reporting with all important figures
  • 3D visualization of your onroad test drives with 2D widgets of the energy flows and vehicle states
  • Automated comparison of simulation results for different vehicle configurations

DYNA4 Concept

The DYNA4 modular simulation environment consists of two main parts: an open demand-oriented Model Repository and a flexible, process-oriented tool environment (DYNA4 Framework).

DYNA4 Model Repository

The DYNA4 Model Repository provides a clearly laid out user environment to administer and parameterize your own simulation models as well as the TESIS model library included

  • Assemble your virtual vehicles for test drives on the PC or HIL
  • Integrate your own simulation models seamlessly into DYNA4 and take advantage of all framework functions
  • The Model Repository is furnished with a base model library
  • You can easily add advanced DYNA4 simulation models (more information on DYNA4 Packages)

DYNA4 Framework

  • Clear management of models, data, simulation scenarios and results
  • Transparency, traceability and reproducibility of simulation projects
  • Open model structure in Matlab/Simulink
  • Seamless integration of your simulation models in the DYNA4 GUI
  • Integrated test automation and parameter variation
  • Adaptations to your workflows with configuration of views, Eclipse plugins, HTML user interfaces
  • Rapid overview and automatic comparison of simulation results for different vehicle variants
  • Standard interfaces e.g. for ROS, ASAM, ADTF etc.
  • 3D Animation of your vehicle simulations with DYNAanimation
  • Software runs platform independent on PCs and on all common real-time platforms
