How Cummins Reduced Physical Prototypes by 50% and Shortened Testing Timelines
Discover how Cummins leverages Simcenter Amesim to build scalable mechatronic system simulations, optimize powertrain performance, and win new OEM business.
Integrating new engines or thermal management systems usually requires acquiring customer test vehicles and conducting lengthy, expensive physical testing. Cummins uses Simcenter Amesim to perform scalable, multi-physics system simulations early in the design phase. This analysis-led strategy helps engineering teams optimize fuel economy, model extreme environmental conditions, and prove product capabilities before building physical prototypes.
What You’ll Learn Inside This Case Study:
- Reduce Physical Prototyping: How replacing physical vehicle testing with system-level simulations slashes prototype requirements by 50 percent.
- Accelerate Validation Timelines: How modeling electric bus thermal management systems under subzero conditions shortens test lead times by one month.
- Win Competitive OEM Bids: How demonstrating downsized engine performance on virtual duty cycles wins business without building physical demo units.
- Optimize Powertrain Efficiency: How virtual energy sensors track system power losses across hydrostatic CVT transmissions to improve fuel economy and meet emissions standards.
This Case Study is Meant For:
Powertrain Engineers, Mechatronic Systems Leads, Thermal Management Specialists, Off-Highway Design Engineers, and Heads of Vehicle Integration.
