While the model of an HV cable was surprisingly simple, the modelling of HV connectors was much more tricky, describes Mr. Hübner.
After a failed bottom-up approach, Hübner teamed up with the supplier TE Connectivity and went for a top-down approach:
The goal was to define a model as simple as possible. Therefore „points of interests“ and the main heat sources have been identified upfront. The supplier created a network analysis, measured the real parts, adjusted parameters and then transferred these parameters to DAIMLER, where Hübner and his team were now able to set up a „Simscape Model“ with the given parameters.
