Better modeling and simulation software lets powertrains perform their best. Ecostar Electric Drive Systems L.L.C. Integrated electric powertrains from Ecostar, Dearborn, Mich., can provide 10 to 80 kW of power. The powertrains are being used in an array of next-generation electric and hybrid-electric vehicles. The diagram shows the system components in modeling an electric powertrain. The model incorporates electrical, mechanical, and thermal variables, giving a complete picture of the entire system. Software tools for modeling complex electromechanical systems have grown sophisticated. The state of the art has progressed to a point
