Accelerating Vehicle Electrification With Virtual Prototypes

Electronics digital twins play an important role in accelerating the development and validation of electric vehicles (EV) and software defined vehicles (SDV). A vehicle’s electrical system is a significant contributor to overall cost and weight, making vehicle electrification one of today’s hot topics and areas of substantial investment.

High-precision virtual prototyping tools for multi-domain power electronics design can enable OEMs and Tier 1s to analyze EV power systems more accurately and have higher confidence in the design before producing a single physical prototype. These tools provide advanced simulation to precisely calculate costs, improve vehicle performance, range, and battery durability.

Synopsys Saber™ virtual prototyping for power electronics can help engineers to run complex simulations with varying component tolerances, generate best and worst-case results, and easily conduct “what-if” studies for battery analysis, DC/DC converters, and multi-domain analysis.
