Hybrid Electric Vehicle Modeling – Free

This class is currently full.  However, GTI is investigating alternative solutions to accommodate everyone interested in this course.  Please click the ‘Join Waiting List’ button above to express your interest, and we will contact you in the future.

This two day FREE seminar will focus on the wide variety of different aspects of EV, HEV, and PHEV modeling and analysis that can be accomplished in GT-SUITE.  This seminar is applicable to a general audience with no previous HEV experience required.  The focus of the seminar is to introduce the process of HEV model building and highlight how multiple HEV subsystems can be considered together in a complete energy management model.  Computers will be provided to attendees at the training facility.  Due to limited seating available for this seminar, only one student per university will be allowed to register. Additional students will be placed on the waiting list and allowed to attend pending available seats.The material covered in the seminar will introduce the following concepts:

• 1-D Mechanical Simulation
  
• Model Setup- initialization, parameter sweeps   
  
• Post-processing (GT-POST)  
  
• Subassemblies: internal, external, encryption of subassemblies
  

The following vehicle modeling topics will be included:
