To minimize the risk of conflicts with regard to energy density, efficiency and durability, you can develop a fuel cell system holistically right from the start. Simulation is particularly suited to take these goals into account from the very first concept, well before there is even a prototype.
Our single-platform solution enables the ideal interaction of 3D multi-physics CFD and system simulation. (Find out more) You can use the software from the first development steps throughout the entire V-process. Optimize efficiency and performance with consistent PEMFC stack power and degradation models. With the system simulation option, the development and calibration of FCCU functions in SiL and HiL environments is no problem thanks to the full real-time capability.
