AVL Suite 2014.1 (Workspace Suite 2014.1)

AVL is providing a set of comprehensive simulation tools in a flexible and open environment enabling multi-disciplinary solutions as integral part of your powertrain development process. Fully validated state-of-the-art physical simulation models embedded in application specific simulation methods enable virtual prototyping on component and system level for most efficient combination of simulation, design and testing.

The new software versions 2014 offer a lot of enhancements in pre- and post-processing as well as in the main programs and modules to further improve the functionality and performance of the software.

The AVL Workspace embedded interface automates the creation of a workflow that contains any AVL Workspace tool (BOOST, EXCITE, FIRE, ...) Rather than defining manually substitution and extraction rules of design variables and output results, the user sets up parameterization of the simulation model within the AVL Workspace Software and defines design outputs in the AVL Workspace Impress Chart. 

Thanks to the tight integration of Optimus with AVL Workspace, engineers setting up a model in AVL Workspace are able to generate an Optimus project right away. Through the design and variation interface (DVI), the corresponding Optimus simulation workflow is generated automatically. Design of Experiments (DOE), Response Surface Modeling (RSM) and (robust) design optimization can then be executed directly from Optimus. Optimus will automatically modify the AVL Workspace design parameters, generate and update the underlying files and extract the result outputs (scalar and vectors).
