The transformation of the automotive industry toward electrification demands not only new technologies but also smarter, faster, and more efficient development processes. As ePowertrain systems become increasingly complex, virtual validation methods are gaining importance for reducing time, cost, and testing effort. While physical endurance tests have long been the standard for assessing durability and thermal aging, they are time-consuming and limited by hardware and software constraints. In this presentation, a concrete case demonstrates how simulation-based aging verification enables the virtual realization of ePowertrain development. The process covers requirement definition, architecture design, durability modeling, and failure mechanism analysis — all validated and verified through advanced simulation workflows. By digitally reproducing thermal aging and performance degradation, test times can be reduced from several months to only a few weeks, achieving up to ten times faster results with high accuracy and cost efficiency.
In this session, you will learn more about:
- How can virtual validation accelerate ePowertrain development and reduce physical testing?
- What are the key requirements for accurate thermal aging simulation and model verification?
- How can OEMs and suppliers leverage simulation to optimize reliability, sustainability, and innovation in electric drivetrains?
