Getting Started with Simscape

Learn how Simscape™ enables you to model physical systems by modeling a battery electric vehicle. See how to assemble a schematic of electrical, mechanical, and fluid components into a model that helps you size components and make design decisions.

Explore how to use simulation to select electric motors and size cooling systems that include pipes, pumps, and tanks. Learn how Simscape helps you:

•  Assemble Simscape components into a mechanical schematic to model the vehicle
• Simulate a passing maneuver to determine the required motor torque
• Use parameters from a datasheet to refine the electric motor model
• Use Simscape fluid components to model the cooling system to keep the temperature below its maximum rated temperature

See how MATLAB^® enables you to tune the physical model created in Simscape, enhance the model to incorporate 3D mechanical systems, and connect it to control algorithms within the Simulink^® environment.
