Optimizing aerodynamics to maximize EV range
Typically, strategies aiming at maximizing the range of an electric vehicle rely on reducing vehicle weight or improving battery performance.
But 2021 could change this as the world is getting ready to welcome a hundred of different new fully electric models for all needs and wants. The full-electric vehicles offering is expanding to larger models, sports cars and SUVs with ranges neighboring 500 km (310 miles).
For Audi’s engineers working on the new e-tron, new customer expectations translated into the need to develop innovative product development strategies to maximize driving range.
长续航里程高性能电池
安全不容妥协：汽车行业正致力于将“零伤亡”变为现实。电池方面仍存在许多令人担忧的问题，如车内的理想部署位置、各路况下的完整性或外壳在遭受撞击时的防护水平。OEM 及其供应商所面临的挑战在于满足不断变化的需求：针对各种环境的虚拟化测试能力，对于成功开发蕴含全球化思维的电动汽车变得空前重要。
实现理想的乘客舒适度和能耗
随着内饰布局变得灵活——甚至具有革命性，车内气候系统必须经过重新设计方可满足车舱结构及个性化舒适度的需求。如何在改造车舱的同时继续保持乘客的安全性和舒适度并打造高性能车辆？这是工程团队面临的一项艰巨挑战。借助虚拟内饰工程，工程团队能在创新型汽车概念设计成型前充分测试各种布局和场景，最终获得车舱全貌，平衡乘客舒适度、车舱能耗以及与之对应的续航里程和乘客安全等因素。
Go for Hybrid Twins to Achieve energy management targets and maximum range without sacrificing comfort, safety, or cost
Today, it is possible to maximize electric vehicle driving range, while simultaneously offering cabin comfort and safety in a holistic, end-to-end engineering approach. Engineers virtually analyze and assess the interaction of all vehicle variables, inside and outside, and in real-time, accurately predicting the impact on the passenger comfort. They do this by accounting for passenger characteristics in combination with heating, ventilation, air conditioning, battery, and powertrain plus external environments like roads conditions, traffic, driving style, and weather. With the Hybrid Twin™, aim to empower OEMs to create a truly immersive, individual, and mobile driving experience.
对生产过程进行体验、验证、沟通
在设计为制造和服务奠定基调后，工程团队需要认识到人与其产品和流程之间的交互，只有这样才能让生产和装配顺利进行。在虚拟现实技术的帮助下，工程团队可在体验和验证装配要求并就其进行沟通的同时，考虑以人为本的流程间交互。这最终可以大幅降低未来的装配风险、提升效率，同时提高生产力、实现关键产品目标。
轻量化设计确保长续航里程又不增加成本
轻量化的车身结构、发动机和传动装置是实现理想的电动汽车性能和续航里程的关键。但在采用轻型材料制造汽车时，如何在满足误差范围要求的同时提高最终感知质量，仍是 OEM 面临的一大难题。此外，这一要求通常还会造成试验阶段大幅超支。为满足客户的高要求、最大限度降低风险并将成本控制在规定范围内，OEM 必须确保制造过程具备领先的工艺和操作性能。通过模拟制造和组装流程，可实现对关键制造和组装流程的虚拟化管理、检查感知质量，并确保整个制造过程按预期进行。这是制造外观精美、轻量化、组装灵活的电动汽车的催化剂，有助于呈现极致品质。
Virtual Prototyping Empowers Automakers to Engineer and Manufacture Multi-Material Assemblies With Confidence
With the advent of connected, automated, shared, and electrified (CASE) devices, light-weighting and cost savings are strategically pursued top priorities for automakers to achieve greenhouse gas emissions, fuel economy, range targets and affordable products. On the one hand, weight reduction is a must for body and chassis design, shifting the focus towards high strength-to-weight ratio materials in assemblies that combine, for instance, advanced steels with aluminum and composites. In the process, product engineering and manufacturing complexity is growing and the urgency of uniting those two worlds earlier is increasing. On the other hand, they equally share the cost pressure because high investments on the powertrain side inevitably reduce the “what we can afford” on the body and chassis side. Thus, being able to accurately predict the wide range of manufacturing processes and their assemblies is key to minimizing the amount of costly physical prototypes and tryouts.
