Contribution of system modeling to control
Engine and vehicle modeling and simulation tools now occupy a dominant position in the field of engine development. IFP develops world-class solutions in this sector.
System modeling can be used in the control algorithm development phase and also contributes to the real-time estimation of non-measured variables (calculation of “observers”): 0D models produced by system modeling are used after having been reworked to be made real-time.
System simulation tools
Working closely with LMS, IFP is continuing the intensive development of system simulation tools, enabling modeling of behavior, from individual component to vehicle system level. The IFP-Drive (vehicle simulation) and IFP-Engine (engine simulation) libraries are being met with increasing success among car manufacturers, particularly in Asia, and prominent OEMs.
Solutions for our customers
IFP provides its customers with its knowledge and know-how in the field of system modeling.
Impact studies
IFP evaluates the impact in terms of performance, fuel consumption and emissions:
- of a conventional vehicle architecture, standard hybrid, parallel hybrid, etc.,
- of characteristics (power, efficiency, etc.) of a component (thermal engine, transmission, etc.),
- of a global energy system management strategy,
-
of an energy system (thermal engine, transmission, etc.).
IFP, along with its partners, has also developed advanced system modeling tools.
- IFP-Drive library
- IFP-Engine, IFP-Exhaust libraries and other standard libraries
- Co-simulation and complete export with the software publisher, MATLAB & Simulink
- Real-time compatibility for the main platforms (dSPACE, RTlab, xPCTarget)
