Supporting system-level modeling for powertrain, thermal management, electrification, and vehicle integration challenges.
Overview
Automotive engineering demands integrated analysis of powertrain systems, thermal management, electrification architectures, and vehicle-level performance. Engineers must evaluate complex interactions between propulsion systems, energy storage, thermal subsystems, and control strategies.
Multi-domain simulation enables rapid evaluation of conventional, hybrid, and electric vehicle configurations. System-level modeling supports fuel economy analysis, emissions compliance, thermal system design, and electrification integration throughout development cycles.
Efficient modeling workflows allow engineering teams to explore design alternatives, validate system performance, and transition models from concept evaluation through detailed design and validation phases.

Managing battery temperature is critical to both performance and safety. GT-SUITE and GT-AutoLion let engineers simulate heat generation, thermal runaway risks, and cooling system behavior across cells, modules, and full packs, under real drive cycle conditions.
Getting cabin comfort right means balancing refrigerant loop performance, heat exchanger sizing, and thermal response, all while minimizing energy draw. GT-SUITE, combined with GT-TAITherm, gives engineers the tools to model the full system and find that balance across any vehicle platform.
Injection system performance has a direct impact on combustion efficiency and emissions. GT-SUITE captures the transient hydraulic behavior of injector dynamics and spray characteristics, supporting everything from initial design through calibration and regulatory compliance.
Electric vehicle development requires a clear picture of how the battery, motor, power electronics, and drivetrain interact. GT-SUITE models the complete system, giving engineers reliable insight into energy flow, thermal behavior, and real-world range across diverse operating conditions.
Control strategies need to be validated in context, not in isolation. GT-SUITE supports MiL, SiL, and HiL workflows, enabling engineers to test energy management, thermal control, and powertrain calibration strategies within a full system simulation environment.
Hybrid architectures introduce real complexity, balancing combustion, electric machines, and energy storage across constantly changing operating conditions. GT-SUITE helps engineers evaluate architecture options, refine energy management strategies, and predict fuel economy and emissions before hardware ever exists.
