Calibrate and Resize Engines and Electric Motors

The Powertrain Blockset™ provides dynamometer reference applications and the Virtual Vehicle Composer to calibrate and resize engines and motors. Your goals determine which tool and options to use. Consider using the:

  • Virtual Vehicle Composer to evaluate system-level performance, economy, and emissions.

  • Dynamometer reference applications to develop plant controls for motors and engines.

The virtual vehicle composer and dynamometer reference applications each have resize and calibration options. Consider using the:

  • Resize options to scale existing engine and motor parameter sets.

  • Calibration options to develop engine and motor parameters from measured data.

This table summarizes the tooling and options to use for different goals.
