Powertrain Blockset and Model-Based Calibration Tools from MathWorks

Join MathWorks engineers as they provide insight into the new Powertrain Blockset and Model-based Calibration tools.

Model and Simulate Automotive Powertrain Systems

Powertrain Blockset is a new product launched in release R2016b. It provides a library of automotive components as well as pre-assembled engine dynamometer and complete vehicle models for fast desktop simulation and real-time HIL testing. It includes a component library for simulating engine subsystems, transmission assemblies, traction motors, battery packs, and controller models. Powertrain Blockset also includes a dynamometer model for virtual testing.

In this session, you’ll get a closer look at just a few of the ways you can use Powertrain Blockset to accelerate your powertrain systems and controls development, including:

• Engine controller calibrations
• Design optimization studies
• Subsystem control design
• Multidomain simulation via Simscape™
• Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing

For more information, please see the Powertrain Blockset product page.

Model-Based Calibration Toolbox

Model-Based Calibration Toolbox™ provides apps and design tools for optimally calibrating complex engines and powertrain subsystems. You can define optimal test plans, automatically fit statistical models, and generate calibrations and lookup tables for complex high-degree-of-freedom engines that would otherwise require exhaustive testing using traditional methods. Calibrations can be optimized at individual operating points or over drive cycles to identify the optimal balance of engine fuel economy, performance, and emissions.

In this session, we will cover the workflows used to parameterize an automotive engine plant model and calibrate an automotive engine controller including:

• Response surface modeling
• Developing engine performance maps
• Generating Optimal calibrations
• Exporting maps and calibrations

For more information, please see the Model Based Calibration Toolbox product page.
