Read about simulating driveability using DYMOLA at JAGUAR
The complexity of automotive powertrains is increasing. As a result it’s becoming increasingly difficult for engineers to determine the optimum specification for the system. The proliferation of control systems also adds to the complexity of the task and increasingly simulation is being used to assist in the development of new products. A model has been [...]

Control of model parameters
Component orientated modelling provides a convienent method of clicking on components to bring up a dialog of parameters to control that components behaviour. As model size and component count increases however, it is often more desirable to collate information from several different places so that data can be controlled in a central place. Often you [...]

Explore the spread of DYMOLA at TOYOTA
Dymola is used in many divisions at Toyota including Engine, Drivetrain and Chassis. In the Drivetrain division, acceleration performance and noise vibration are being evaluated. In the Engine division, Toyota engineers have constructed an Engine library for Diesel Engine Control. Using the model, we have analysed behaviour of mass flow, pressure, and temperature in all [...]
