Simulating Thermal Management In Tomorrow's Heavy Equipment

Heavy equipment – specifically machines for use in mining, agriculture, construction and materials handling – is rapidly growing in complexity. As off-highway vehicles become more advanced and more capable, thermal management is a growing challenge. In addition, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are under pressure to deliver new solutions ever more quickly and at lower costs.

An integrated simulation software solution, encompassing system simulation, full computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation and a hybrid system-CFD approach is the way forward. This whitepaper describes how using the Simcenter™ thermal management simulation solutions can benefit OEMs by enabling the development of high-performance heavy equipment more efficiently than ever before.
