We support you in the development of complex products with our know-how in thermodynamics, process engineering and simulation.
Learn moreSystem simulation is used to reproduce technical systems in mathematical models in order to predict their behavior on the computer by means of numerical simulation. In this way, it is possible to identify problems at an early stage and to carry out extensive variant studies.
In contrast to detailed fluid dynamics simulation (CFD) or thermal analysis in solids (FEM), system simulation uses coarser spatial resolutions. The focus is on the interactions between different system components and physical effects. Therefore, the terms 0D/1D simulation and multiphysics simulation have become established. Both can be seen as synonymous to system simulation.
Both steady-state and dynamic problems can be investigated. Widely used tools for system simulation are Simulink and Dymola, although there are many other general and application-specific tools. We are well versed in both the theory and practice of systems simulation technology. We are happy to share this knowledge with you!
Products can be tested virtually. This helps to detect errors even before prototypes are built.
Individual simulations calculate in minutes. A large number of variants can be calculated and evaluated in a short time.
Integrated into the development process, system simulation replaces part of the test bench experiments. This saves time as well as the budget.
We are well versed in the fundamentals of thermodynamics and model almost any thermal system.
For many applications, we have ready-to-use simulation models in our TIL model library and can deliver results very quickly. For example for refrigeration cycles, heat pumps, battery thermal management and hydrogen refueling stations.
In individual projects we adapt existing models or develop new simulation models to answer your specific questions.
We may be experts in thermal systems, but we know that the world is not just pressure, temperature and enthalpy. For example, to develop the optimal refrigerant compressor, mechanical and electrical engineering must be taken into account.
In most projects, we use the Modelica modeling language. This equation-oriented language is a perfect tool to model systems across domains.
For many technical areas, there are model libraries and experts who are familiar with them. We are happy to work with them on your tasks.
...and if we couldn't find one, we made it ourselves.
Our model library for thermal systems
High-performance optimization algorithm
Object-oriented, multi-domain modeling language
Multi-purpose, high-level programming language
Cloud simulation platform
The easiest way to enter the world of system simulation is in a project. Especially if there is no simulation competence in your company yet, it makes sense that we take over the model building and the simulation.
With simulation competence in your own company, you can carry out simulations independently. We can provide you with the necessary software and consulting services. You can learn how to use the software in our training courses.
