Simcenter Battery Design Studio
Simulation from cell through to full battery pack
A dedicated simulation environment for the battery industry covering cell electrochemistry, module and pack thermal management, structural safety and ageing.
Battery development is hard because the physics is deeply coupled: electrochemical reactions generate heat, temperature affects reaction rate and ageing, uneven temperature distribution degrades cell consistency, and the structure must remain safe under thermal runaway. Battery Design Studio handles all of it in one environment, from equivalent-circuit or electrochemical cell models through to pack-level thermal and structural response.
It ships with material and cell databases so you can start from ready-made parameters, or import measured vendor data for calibration. For battery makers and vehicle thermal teams that shortens the path from concept to a manufacturable design considerably.
Key capabilities
Cell modelling
Equivalent-circuit and electrochemical models, calibratable against measurements.
Thermal management
Evaluation and optimisation of liquid cooling, air cooling and phase-change materials.
Ageing and life
Ageing prediction and life assessment as a function of temperature and duty cycle.
Thermal runaway and safety
Propagation path assessment and safety structure design.
Structural analysis
Vibration, shock, crush and enclosure strength checks.
System simulation coupling
Models exportable for vehicle-level or 1D system simulation.
What it delivers
- One chain from cell to pack — no stitching data across disconnected tools
- Thermal concepts comparable at design stage, cutting prototype builds
- Thermal runaway risk becomes predictable, so safety design is evidence-based
- Built-in databases and calibration tools make for a fast start
- Models reuse in vehicle simulation, completing the digital twin
