CarMaker Co-Simulation | Typhoon HIL Demo

This demo presents an approach for integrating high-fidelity EV powertrain models with detailed vehicle dynamics in automotive driving simulations, realized with a co-simulation between Typhoon HIL and IPG Automotive’s CarMaker.

With this approach, Typhoon HIL can emulate electric converters, machines, and cell-level BMS systems with high fidelity in real time. Meanwhile, IPG Carmaker can add detailed dynamics such as tires, chassis, air resistance, roads, and autonomous driving functionalities to the simulation.

The presented co-simulation approach can be extended for electric trucks (IPG TruckMaker) and electric motorcycles (IPG MotorcycleMaker). Simulations would be able to take into account, for example, electrical and thermal behaviors considering different tracks (from motorsport tracks like Nürburgring to specific muddy offroad areas like mining fields) and consumption cycles (like WLTP, NEFZ).

A four-wheel-drive EV example model is available in Typhoon HIL Control Center, from version 2023.1 (examplesmodelshow-to examplescarmaker co-simulation). For simplification, this example model is running without external controllers – but it can easily be updated to run HIL tests with the original controllers from your automotive project.
