pSeven has showcased a workflow that connects Aras Innovator PLM with pSeven Enterprise to automate key stages of hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) motor development. The implementation links electromagnetic motor simulations performed in Ansys Maxwell with vehicle-level fuel consumption studies in MATLAB/Simulink, allowing engineers to evaluate how changes in rotor geometry affect overall vehicle performance under different driving cycles.
Within the workflow, simulation data generated in Maxwell is automatically processed to create motor efficiency maps, which are then transferred to Simulink models for fuel consumption analysis. Through the Aras Innovator integration, engineers can initiate studies, manage design parameters, store simulation outputs and maintain traceability of requirements and design revisions inside the PLM environment. The workflow is intended to support repeatable multidisciplinary studies and centralized engineering data management for HEV development.
