Post Graduate Certification in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Design & Analysis

Vehicle Handling and Dynamics are very important for the safety and performance of cars. Depending on the car segement, different suspension architecture exists. How are these architectures proposed, designed and developed? Well, that is what you will focus on in this particular module.

Hand calculations | Programming | Detailed 3D Simulations
Concepts such as wheel rates, instantaneous centers and scrub radius are fundamental concepts. Depending on the complexity of our suspension model, we can perform calculations ranging from pen-and-paper to detailed multi-body dynamic simulations using software packages like Adams Car. In this course, you will be doing all of the above.

A well designed part helps keep passengers safe and Finite Element Analysis plays a key part in the development of such parts. Techniques such as steady state and transient methods are used to estimate the strength of parts under linear and non-linear conditions. When you finish this module, you will learn which simulation methodologies need to be used for which type of parts and loads combinations.

Finite Element Analysis using LS-Dyna
LS-DYNA is a robust multi-physics environment. This will be the first course in this module and will help you achieve a strong foundation in FEA.

Crash-worthiness using HyperMesh and Radioss
This course is more application focussed. You will learn to perform computer simulations to estimate the crash worthiness of cars. In this regard, you will learn how to compute intrusion length and energy path distribution.

Learning a CAD Package(s) is not design. Designining is problem solving technique, where you create a product that satisfies several constraints. These constraints can be technical and non-technical.

In this module, you will learn the art of designing to constraints. We will focus on how sheet metal parts are designed and manufactures in the industry. We will understand the different constraints that are in place while designing Body In White (BIW) components and used engineering principles to create the final product.

Sheet Metal Design principles applied to BIW components
In these two courses, you will first develop a detailed understanding of NX-CAD. Afterwards, you will apply these concepts to design critical BIW components such as the Hood, Fender, Side-door and Back door.

Understanding flow behavior is extremely critical in obtaining peak performance from various sub-systems that make up a vehicle. From intake systems to the cylinder to the after-treatment components, every inch of piping, bends and curves has been carefully designed to satisfy the requirements of several teams.

In this module, your focus is on taking up several courses that teach how to simulate flow in systems such as superchargers, turbochargers, cabin-interior, after treatement systems and finally the entire vehicle.

External Aerodynamics
In this module, You will learn, how to perform external aerodynamic analysis on full sized passenger cars and racing cars. You will understand the objectives of your simulation and will prepare the computational models accordingly.

Pumps, Compressors and Super-chargers
Depending on the segment, a passenger vehicle can have multiple turbomachinery components. Each of these components are subjected to CFD simulations to evaluate their thermal performance. In this module, you will learn the following

• Creating the computational domain for turbo-machinery simulations.
• Choosing the right boundary and initial conditions for the problem.
• Employ steady and transient solvers to accomplish the end result.
• Understand core physical models such as turbulence and cavitation modelling.
