Gamma Technologies Announces Official Transition from Exothermia Suite to GT-xCHEM

Gamma Technologies Teams Up with the College of Engineering at the University of Alabama to Enhance Battery Education with Advanced Simulation Software

Gamma Technologies (GT), a global leader and innovator in multi-physics systems simulation software, announced its commitment of software and support to the University of Alabama’s College of Engineering. The two organizations are working together to teach students cutting-edge skills for battery engineering by integrating advanced simulation tools in an academic setting.

The University introduced its first course with GT software this past fall, taught by Dr. Krishna Shah, which focused on battery technology, including pack- and module-level, as well as cell- and electrode-level engineering and design. The course covered the inner workings of Lithium-ion technologies, as well as key principles of battery system design spanning battery pack and module design to cell and electrode design to meet energy and power density requirements.

GT supplied the course students with GT-SUITE, the multi-physics modeling platform ideal for battery thermal management, thermal runaway propagation, and battery mechanical design analysis as well as GT-AutoLion, the leading electrochemical modeling tool for Lithium-ion and beyond Lithium-ion technologies. GT-AutoLion simulations are ideal for battery performance prediction, battery degradation prediction, and cell safety modeling.

To complement the course lectures from Dr. Krishna Shah, students were given free access to GT-University for expert training material.

In the inaugural course offering that included GT software and support, students tapped into their creativity to define and complete impressive projects, including:

• Artificial heart – an analysis of multiple cathode chemistries and cell design on the performance and degradation of a lightweight Lithium-ion battery pack powering an artificial heart
• Automotive benchmarking – a study of how ambient temperature affects a battery pack in automotive applications, for both drive cycle scenarios and charging scenarios
• Electric go-kart racing – a sizing and design project for a Lithium-ion battery pack for an electric go-kart to fit race specifications and maximum performance capabilities that tested both performance and degradation requirements

“Modeling, and specifically electrochemical modeling, is a valuable teaching tool for us because it provides an interactive way to learn and understand physical phenomena and behavior of cells,” said Dr. Krishna Shah, Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alabama. “With GT-AutoLion, we setup virtual sensors to measure concentrations, potentials, flux rates, other quantities that are impossible to measure in an operational Li-ion cell, which greatly enhances the learning process.”

“We look forward to building on this collaboration with the University of Alabama and hope to continue to bring GT simulation tools into more engineering classrooms,” remarked Dimple Shah, President and CEO of Gamma Technologies.  “Together with universities across the globe, we hope to play a small role in preparing today’s students to compete as tomorrow’s top simulation engineers.”

MTU Aero Engines Chooses GT-SUITE for Thermal Management Simulation

A leader in the quest for emissions-free aviation, MTU will leverage Gamma Technologies’ GT-SUITE for its novel Water-Enhanced Turbofan

WESTMONT, IL, USA, August 3, 2023 — Gamma Technologies (GT), a global leader and innovator in multi-physics system simulation software, is pleased to welcome MTU Aero Engines (MTU), a leader in the quest for emissions-free aviation, as one of its latest clients. MTU selected GT-SUITE as one of its tools for thermodynamic simulation of important components for its Water-Enhanced Turbofan (WET), which reduces contrails and CO2 and NOx emissions. By 2035, when powered by sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) or hydrogen, a WET based engine could reduce the climate impact of an aircraft by about 80 percent compared to a gas turbine engine from the year 2000—making it virtually climate neutral.

The WET propulsion concept uses residual heat from exhaust to achieve a steam generator to vaporize water, which is then injected into the combustor. The water for this is extracted from the exhaust gas by means of a condenser and then separated; GT-SUITE helps to simulate the complex heat exchanges from this operation.
“We are committed to pioneering technology with the goal of sustainable aviation,” remarked Dr. Jochen Gier, Team Lead of Cooling, Heat Transfer and Combustion at MTU. “After looking at all the available tools, Gamma Technologies’ GT-SUITE was a perfect fit for our complex WET heat exchanger simulations.”

Dimple Shah, President and CEO of Gamma Technologies, said, “Working with visionary organizations like MTU Aero Engines, that push the envelope of engineering to reduce the climate impact and energy use of aviation propulsion is gratifying and aligned with our corporate mission toward a more sustainable world. Their commitment to engineering tomorrow’s engines today is admirable and we are pleased our tools are proving to be instrumental in the development of these amazing technologies.”
“We were very happy with the way we can leverage parametric studies and optimization, user friendly post-processing and the ability to combine 3DCFD results in GT-SUITE to calculate unevenly distributed flows through these components, added Dr. Gier. “GT-SUITE fits quite well into our development toolchain and gives us the opportunity to evaluate each component as part of the complete system.”

Hopium is leveraging the physics-based GT-SUITE models and virtual calibration processes to predict performance — even before test data is available. Using this modeling approach and mirroring the system-level performance, Hopium engineering can ne-tune and seek the optimal operating point of the fuel cell stack, thus shortening the amount of time needed to make educated engineering decisions.

“Hopium is in a unique position where we are, at the same time, stack designers and system integrators,” remarked Jérémy Hattenberger, System, Simulation and Modeling Lead at HOPIUM. “As part of our development, we rely heavily on system modeling and analysis and chose GT-SUITE simulations for stack and system sizing. We need accurate models to guide our choices as well as control algorithms.” Hattenberger continued, “To do that effectively, we need precision, a wide range of component libraries, fast and accurate models, and a mastery of the e-powertrain ecosystem. GT-SUITE has proven to deliver for Hopium in addition to their superior customer support.”

“Hopium is engineering, in record time, the performance hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) of the future,” stated Iakovos Papadimitriou, Gamma Technologies’ CTO. “Using GT-SUITE to predict system-level performance allows them to optimize their designs early in the development process. They are well on their way to achieving their goal of developing an exceptional performance, high-end FCEV vehicle.”

When designing a vehicle system with many interdependent variables, scaling simulation needs with the requirements of the different V-Cycle stages is of strategic importance. Using GT-SUITE, the Hopium engineering team was able to build the sophisticated models they needed. This included a detailed stack and system model starting from an initial performance image of the fuel cell stack, supplier tests and information. Following the model build in GT-SUITE, they began exploring a multitude of boundary conditions and their impact on the system holistic performance.

Hopium made the bold decision to design its own fuel cell stack and the corresponding system for its Machina. This development is currently underway with the aim of delivering performance-oriented, exciting high-end automobiles. Gamma Technologies is excited about this journey, and to be part of Hopium’s development story.

GT Presentation at TTTMS Thermal Management Digital Conference

August 14, 2020

We are glad to announce that Gamma Technologies is sponsoring the SAE INDIA TTTMS Thermal Management Web conference to be held from 26^th– 29^th August. In this event, leading global organizations will be presenting their work on thermal management.

Gamma Technologies is also presenting at the event:

Thermal Management of Electrified Vehicle by Means of System Simulation (SAE Paper 2020-28-0033)

Development of electrified vehicles is recent and poses many concerns regarding their economic viability and performance in terms of range and comfort, as well as safety. Amongst the numerous challenges, one of the most important is the thermal management of the energy storing devices such as batteries and fuel cells. The increasing complexity and varying level of interactions between different subsystems of the vehicles necessitates the use of model-based simulation over tests to reduce development costs and streamline the lead times.

In this paper we will present an integrated system modeling approach to help accelerate the development cycle and test the system over many transient conditions. The paper will describe the workflow for creating such models in GT-SUITE, describing component level modelling including standalone Battery Thermal Management system, Electrochemical Battery Modeling in GT-AutoLion and Cabin Modeling in GT-TAITherm. These standalone models are then integrated to sub-system models including the Refrigerant, Coolant, Cabin, Underhood and Vehicle Systems. These standalone sub-systems are then combined to create an integrated electric vehicle model for determining its performance over a drive cycle at different ambient conditions.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University Use AutoLion to Grasp Battery Aging and Range with AEVs

July 2, 2020

A team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University used AutoLion battery simulation software to answer a lingering question within the autonomous electric vehicle space; does my range and battery life suffer from the increased energy consumption of the autonomous electric vehicle (AEV) hardware/software? Many OEMs are split in their thinking of how much of an impact this will be. The researchers attempted to understand the uncertainty around this concept. According to the CMU analysis recently published in Nature Energy, they find that the impact could be minimal with energy-efficient computing and an aerodynamic sensor stack. 

This study has great timing as many OEMs across the world are starting to set their own formula when it comes to mixing autonomous capability and electrified vehicles. The researchers attempted to account for the degree of autonomous technology (varying computing load and hardware load) and the vehicle architecture (LiDAR aerodynamic drag or no drag). 

The study began by accounting for various autonomous hardware (cameras and cameras + LiDAR). Then they modeled an electric vehicle from first-principles. Next, the model was used on two velocity profiles (city, highway/suburban) with smoothing for autonomous operation and including sensor and computing loads. Using AutoLion, they accounted for the aging impact to the battery.  

“Having reliable battery degradation models under various use conditions is extremely important.  Thus, being able to quantify what is the loss in odometer range over the lifetime of the vehicle is a valuable metric,” said CMU professor Venkat Viswanathan when asked about the importance of accounting for aging to OEMs. 

The team found that the addition of autonomous capability impacted city driving range by 10% to 15% along with 5% to 10% in a Suburban/Highway route. They find that based on the yearly advancements of battery energy density this decrease in range due to automation has the same effect as a 1 to 2 year lag.
