Autonomous urban air mobility vehicles will revolutionize the urban mobility market. A digital twin is invaluable as part of an efficient development process that ensures a safe product. Safe operations are key when it comes to flying autonomous urban air mobility vehicles. Validating the flight management system for as many flight scenarios and operational conditions as possible is crucial. This is why the digital twin of the flight management system must include simulation

Breaking barriers with a simplified electric motor design process. In the world of electric machine design and development, time is always the enemy. As the sun rises on another day at an electric mobility company, three engineers from different departments gather around a conference table, their expressions tense. The prototype deadline is just weeks away, but a critical design change has brought complexity and risk to the schedule. The team needs to modify the axial flux de

Turbomachines are made of assemblies of different bladed disks An interesting exploitation of the periodicity of the structure is to consider cyclic symmetry sectors, instead of the whole 3D structure. When the industrial application requires the machine to be made of different stages, each with a different number of sectors, special care is required when connecting those sectors to ensure a smooth junction between the two stages. When the periodic structure deviates from its

Aging affects most things on Earth, and batteries are no exception to this phenomenon. In a very peculiar way, batteries behave like "living" beings; their particles flow between two electrodes, there are chemical reactions, and even mechanical changes, such as an effect similar to "breathing" (expansion and contraction of the electrodes due to the intercalation and deintercalation of lithium during charge/discharge cycles). They are simply in operation, which generates natur

Build a scalable Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and achieve high ROI This post focuses on the crucial role of energy storage in promoting corporate sustainability and profitability. By integrating BESS with renewable energy sources, companies can achieve significant cost savings, reduce their carbon footprint, and boost long-term profitability. We will explore how BESS industry leaders are creating digital plants, increasing flexibility, and building a competitive advan

Challenge: achieve fast and accurate virtual prototyping The optimal multi-attribute design of transmissions remains a critical challenge for drivetrain engineers, gaining even greater significance in the era of electric vehicles. Today’s automotive industry demands powertrains that excel in multiple aspects: minimizing noise and vibrations, maximizing power density and efficiency, while ensuring unprecedented durability performance. For this purpose, transmission engineers n
