Optimize vehicle thermal systems using GT-SUITE's multi-fluid solvers to predict pressure drop, flow distribution and performance straight from CAD geometry.
SOLUTION OVERVIEW
GT-SUITE is an industry-leading thermal management tool used to analyze pressure drop, flow distribution, and performance. Its robust and powerful solvers easily handle all fluid types, including coolants and refrigerants, in a single model. Powerful 3D tools enable rapid creation of 1D flow networks and underhood airflow directly from CAD geometry.
Thermal management models can be easily integrated with the vehicle and powertrain to optimize energy management.
APPLICATION HIGHLIGHTS
ADVANCED FEATURES
Build detailed thermal system models quickly and accurately using advanced simulation capabilities.
GT-SUITE connects your thermal management model directly with vehicle, powertrain, and electrical systems, giving you a full-system view to evaluate energy tradeoffs and optimize efficiency across every operating condition.
Build your thermal model once and carry it from early design through controls development and real-world validation. It supports MiL, SiL, and HiL environments without rebuilding, so all teams work from one consistent model.
Lumped thermal mass and finite element component models linked to 1D flow solvers deliver accurate temperature and pressure results at the speed needed for full drive-cycle and long-transient simulations, without sacrificing physical detail.
Evaluate pumps, heat exchangers, valves, and other components across design variations using integrated Design of Experiments tools. Swap components between cases without rebuilding your model and reach confident, data-driven decisions earlier in the program.
Simulate complete transient drive cycles, including cold starts, thermal soak, and aggressive loads, under real-world conditions. The transient solver handles all fluid types, including coolants and refrigerants, in one model.
Evaluate how heat exchanger geometry, sizing, and stacking affect system-level thermal performance, and predict airflow effects to make confident design decisions earlier in development.
