FOR EVE IT'S ALL ABOUT SOFTWARE

摘要

The Sunswift teams used a range of software to design eVe to be as efficient as possible. ANSYS computational fluid dynamics software from LEAP Australia was used to design the shape of the vehicle. It allowed the students to rapidly evaluate pressure gradients on the car from one design iteration to the next. MATLAB from MathWorks was used to measure the nonlinear behaviour of the lithium ion batteries so they could model battery performance in various states of charge and under various loads. This enabled the team to maximise battery performance.
