Abstract

The invention is directed to modeling of heat and vibration for structures. Therefore, with a traditional model division for each component, one-to-one correspondence between the models and the components is not necessarily realized. There has been a problem in that it is difficult to divide the models. To solve the above problem, a simulation program according to the present invention includes a first model for calculating a first vehicle characteristics parameter, a second model for calculating a second vehicle characteristics parameter to transfer energy without converting the energy, and an interface model for performing conversion calculation of the first vehicle characteristics parameter and the second vehicle characteristics parameter.

Claims (21)

1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions, which when executed causes a processor to:

simulate a first model to calculate a first vehicle characteristics parameter;

simulate a second model to calculate a second vehicle characteristics parameter to transfer energy without converting the energy; and

simulate an interface model to perform conversion calculation of the first vehicle characteristics parameter and the second vehicle characteristics parameter, wherein

the first vehicle characteristics parameter includes a current, a voltage, a torque, and a rotation speed which are physical quantities related to vehicle driving force,

the second vehicle characteristics parameter includes a heat flow, a temperature, excitation force, and a displacement speed which are physical quantities related to a loss,

a vibration model and a heat model classified into the second model are included,

the interface model includes an excitation force/displacement speed calculation unit which constructs an output to the vibration model for simulating vibration from output information of the first model and a vibration energy calculation unit which calculates vibration energy from a vibration state, and

a heat flow is obtained by subtracting the vibration energy from loss information in the first vehicle characteristics parameter obtained from the first model.

2. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein

the first model is divided for each component element for calculating energy, and

the second model is divided for each mechanical connection.

3. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 2 , wherein

the first model is included as an inverter plant model which simulates a behavior of an inverter and a motor plant model which simulates a behavior of a motor, and

the interface model inputs any piece of information including the number of poles of a motor, the number of slots, a skew state, a winding method included in the motor plant model as setting values and a modulation system and a modulation rate included in the inverter plant model as setting values.

4. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 2 , wherein

the interface model to be connected to a plant model of a gearbox includes any one of a spring, a mass, a viscous resistance, and a backlash.

5. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein

the first model includes the interface model.

6. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein

the second model includes the interface model.
