A strategic challenge for industry
0D/1D models are essential tools for the simulation of many systems. They offer an optimal combination of speed of execution and low computational load, enabling a simplified but efficient representation of physical phenomena. However, this efficiency can sometimes result in a loss of accuracy, posing a challenge in terms of reliability and predictability of results.
The main challenges of 0D/1D simulation
Accuracy and calibration: Their main challenge lies in the ability to represent physical phenomena with a sufficient degree of accuracy. Simplifying results can lead to approximations that require constant adjustment. This calibration relies on accurate experimental data, and if these are limited and uncertain, this presents a challenge. One of our strengths at SHERPA Engineering is our culture of understanding the physical systems we model.
Interoperability: Another challenge is model interoperability. In many cases, one model may be coupled to another produced in a different software package. To overcome this difficulty, we use FMU technology, which facilitates the standardization of exchanges between different software packages.
SHERPA Engineering’s expertise
SHERPA Engineering has been successfully meeting these challenges for almost 30 years. Our expertise covers fuel cells, electrical systems, energy and thermal management, and autonomous vehicles.
Our Managing Partner, Guillaume Bruniquel, recently shared our vision and innovations in 0D/1D simulation in a trade magazine. Discover his analysis and our outlook for tomorrow’s challenges.
