The course aims to explore simulation techniques for the dynamic behaviour of automotive powertrains, with particular emphasis on the new challenges introduced by their progressive electrification. Different modelling methodologies, available in the commercial AVL Excite software, will be illustrated depending on the product development phase, ranging from 3D models to equivalent 1D torsional models. Examples of industrial applications concerning the vibro-acoustic behaviour of thermal, hybrid and electrically powered vehicles will be shown.
