SAFETY THROUGH SIMULATION:

DIGITALLY PROTECTING OUR VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

What does future-proof vehicle development mean? At Nexans autoelectric, it starts virtually – long before the first wire has physically been installed. Our innovative simulation processes digitally safeguard the quality and reliability of our vehicle electrical systems: Quickly, precisely, and resource-efficiently. Whether thermal simulation, FEM analysis, or smart layout planning – our virtual prototypes help identify risks early and work out the best solutions in a targeted manner. This saves time, reduces costs, and brings us a significant step closer to the perfect solution – even before the first prototype is created.

Thermal Simulation: A Key Factor in Advanced Vehicle Electrical System Development

In live wires, heat is generated due to electrical resistance – a physical effect that requires utmost attention when designing power and high voltage vehicle electrical systems. The goal is to comply with the temperature class of the wires and avoid overheating even under maximum load, while at the same time minimizing weight, space, and costs.

IPS Simulation: For Vehicle Electrical Systems

Minimal installation space and increasing complexity: Hardly possible without well-elaborate wire positioning?

Using IPS simulation (Industrial Path Solutions), we precisely plan and analyze the pathways of our wire systems in the virtual vehicle environment.

The underlying smart algorithms identify potential collisions, calculate movement space for connector processes, and simulate dynamic influences such as the opening of a door or vibrations while driving.

The result: A space-saving and robust vehicle electrical system.

FEM Simulation: For Maximum Reliability

Mechanical reliability is no coincidence – it is the result of forward-thinking development: Using the Finite Element Method (FEM), we already ensure the structural integrity and durability of every component in our wiring harnesses from the development stage.
