Follow Argonne Transportation activities at. With employees from more than 60nations, Argonne is managed by UChicago Argonne, LLC for the U.S Department ofEnergy`s Office of Science. Argonne researchers work closely with researchers from hundreds ofcompanies, universities, and federal, state and municipal agencies to help themsolve their specific problems, advance America`s scientific leadership andprepare the nation for a better future. The nation's first national laboratory, Argonne conductsleading-edge basic and applied scientific research in virtually every scientificdiscipline. And by taking advantageof our parallel computing capabilities, the Argonne team cut a time-intensivesimulation process down to one day, speeding up design evaluation and bringingsignificant time and cost savings to the automotive industry." About Argonne National LaboratoryArgonne National Laboratory seeks solutions to pressing national problems inscience and technology.
"Model-Based Design and tools such as PSAT allow automotive engineersto make critical design decisions early in the process. However, with the large number of advanced powertrain options, muchof the hardware is being developed in parallel with the vehicle systemdevelopment," said Jon Friedman, automotive industry marketing manager at TheMathWorks. The combination of PSAT and Parallel Computing Toolbox save countlesshours in development by providing an efficient simulation-based environment fordesign tradeoff studies." "Traditionally, automotive engineers use prototypes to decide on system designtradeoffs. "Without parallel computingcapabilities, we would not have been able to run the necessary simulations inthe time allotted and, consequently, would have been unable to support ourcustomers. Department of Energy and automotive OEMsneeded an efficient and reliable way to evaluate the effect that each componenthas on vehicle fuel economy and performance," explained Sylvain Pagerit,research engineer at Argonne National Laboratory.
