1D simulation for efficient development
Understanding systems. Avoid risks.
We use 1D simulation to analyze physical systems quickly and efficiently - thermally, electrically or in terms of control technology. This allows us to compare variants, validate scenarios and optimize products at an early stage - with minimal computing effort and high informative value.
Capture physical systems in real time
Efficient, robust and economical solutions with 1D simulation
1D simulation enables the fast and efficient analysis of physical systems - from thermal management and electrical wiring systems to control technology. The combination of detailed modelling, short computing time and high informative value makes it possible to compare variants, examine scenarios and optimize systems at an early stage. PTS-Prüftechnik offers you customized simulation models that reflect real conditions and reduce development costs.
Our simulation solutions at a glance
Based on 3D CAD data or hydraulic-thermal functional diagrams, we model complete cooling circuits, including pressure losses, mass flows, temperature curves and energy flows. This enables well-founded decisions to be made when designing, dimensioning and optimizing thermal systems - e.g. in vehicles, power electronics or mechanical engineering.
Our simulations virtually model electrical components such as cables, fuses, relays or inverters. This allows on-board electrical systems to be analyzed under real operating conditions and designed for static and dynamic scenarios - such as voltage dips, load peaks or faults. We provide you with targeted support in the development of robust, energy-efficient and standard-compliant electrical systems.
We model and simulate control and regulation systems in conjunction with physical plant models for the holistic analysis of mechatronic systems. With the help of 1D simulation methods, digital and analog control algorithms, logical processes as well as sensor and actuator concepts can be virtually mapped and coupled in real time with the associated mechanical, electrical or thermal systems. This allows control behaviour, system stability and response behaviour to be optimized at an early stage - e.g. for PID, state or model-based controllers.
