What Role Does Simulation Play in ‘Model-Based’ Systems Engineering?

Simulation has evolved as automakers look to efficiently build vehicle variants.

Toyota plans to launch 30 new electric vehicles by 2030

That kind of variety can put a strain on a development team – unless certain features are carried over from one EV to the next, according to an industry expert from the Munich, Germany-based simulation provider Siemens.

“What is happening in our customer base is that they are sharing models, components, subsystems, and reusing the model more in multiple vehicles,” said Steven Dom, Director Automotive Industry Solutions at Siemens Digital Industries Software, who spoke in a live Tech Briefs presentation in late 2021.

With this “model-based” approach, a company like Toyota can use a limited number of established subsystems to efficiently build vehicles with different architectures and body variants – say, 30 of them, in just a few years.

But does a model-based approach change simulation strategies?
