High-Fidelity Multi-Physics Vehicle Twins & FMI 3.0 Co-Simulation
AutomotiveTwin couples independent physical domain models into a unified digital twin using the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI 3.0) standard. Simulating thermal, electrical, mechanical, and aerodynamic forces simultaneously, it enables predictive component life estimation and virtual validation of powertrain control algorithms.

Breaking Down Engineering Silos via Standardized Functional Mock-up Units
Vehicle engineering traditionally segregates CFD aerodynamics, finite-element structural dynamics, and 1D battery models into isolated toolchains. AutomotiveTwin bridges these environments: by compiling simulation domains into Functional Mock-up Units (FMUs), an engine or battery pack can be simulated within a vehicle dynamics solver at hardware-in-the-loop speeds without sharing proprietary intellectual property.
Core Engineering Areas
- Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) — Standardizing FMU 3.0 wrappers across mechanical, electrical, thermal, and software domains to execute cohesive vehicle simulations.
- Thermal-Electrochemical Coupling — Simulating microscopic ion intercalation alongside macroscopic coolant jacket heat transfer to predict cell degradation during track driving.
- Electromagnetic & NVH Twin — Computing space-time Maxwell stress tensors across stator laminations to optimize psychoacoustic cabin comfort in electric vehicles.
