For Electric Vehicles, simulation
solutions allow rapid electric and
hybrid vehicle innovation at both
the component and system levels.
Key applications comprise batter-
ies and battery management sys-
tems, fuel cells, power electronics,
electric motors, and the integrated
electrified powertrain system.
