Brake Blending Strategy on Electric Vehicle Co-simulation Between MATLAB Simulink® and Simcenter Amesim™

Application of regenerative braking on electric vehicles has to be carefully optimized in order to maximize the system efficiency, maintaining high performance and reliability levels that are required by the automotive sector. Considering complex interactions arising from the interaction of electric brake plant with vehicle dynamics and other on-board sub-systems, there is the necessity of modular scalable models able to merge multiple competences and different engineering tools, aimed at performing accurate simulation activities. In this work authors present some preliminary results concerning the implementation of a model in which the potentialities of co-simulation between different environment are exploited.
