Ansys simulation solutions are key to developing
Turntide's zero-emissions electric powertrain components and
battery systems
/ Key Highlights
- Turntide uses a suite of Ansys tools to develop and test
electrification solutions for off-highway vehicles such as
construction and agricultural machines
- Ansys electromagnetic simulation solutions helped Turntide
engineers reduce development costs by about 25%
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 5, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Turntide Technologies (Turntide), developer of
electrification and sustainable operations technologies, is
leveraging Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) solutions to produce electric
vehicle powertrain components that help its customers transform
commercial and industrial vehicles from gas and diesel engines to
clean, quiet battery electric machines — a significant step towards
achieving global net-zero goals.
While many automakers electrify passenger vehicles, Turntide is
focused on supplying electrification solutions for commercial and
industrial vehicles, such as construction equipment, agricultural
machines, trains, marine and freight movers. These vehicles present
greater sustainability challenges than passenger vehicles because
of their heavy-duty loads, work cycles, and vibration. Timely,
cost-effective simulation is essential to develop the solution
components.
Turntide uses a suite of Ansys tools to design and test
components for construction equipment such as front wheel loaders
or mini excavators. These simulations show the impact of extreme
scenarios including weather, vibration, impact, and corrosive
exposure to salt, sand and chemicals and provide performance and
safety data.
"Typically, testing a product prototype for electromagnetic
compatibility at an accredited test facility costs more than
$34,000 over a two-week period," said
Biswadip Shome, senior director,
simulation and analysis at Turntide. "Instead of performing
prototype-based trial and error solutioning, which is not only time
consuming but also expensive, a physics-based simulation using
Ansys toolsets provides a significant business advantage. We
estimate that we save about 25% on development costs by using
simulation."
Critical simulations for inverters, one of the most important
components for electric vehicles, are conducted for shock and
vibration to ensure the printed circuit board assembly can endure
rugged environments, and thermal systems are simulated to evaluate
coolant pressure drops and effectiveness in harsh climates.
"It's astounding to see the energy and carbon emissions savings
that Turntide is achieving by using Ansys simulation to develop
electric powertrains," said Walt
Hearn, vice president of worldwide sales and customer
excellence at Ansys. "We are proud to be part of their success
story."
Visit Ansys at CES in Las
Vegas from Jan. 5-8, 2023, at
booth #4401 to see Turntide's batteries and inverters on display
and learn more.
