Including Batteries in Electric or Hybrid Car Crash Simulations

In recent years, much has been done in simulation to accompany the renewed growth of electric vehicles. Among the main challenges is the inclusion of the electrochemical and thermal behavior of a battery pack in a car crash simulation. Pierre and Iñaki are senior developers of the Electromagnetics (EM) solver LS-DYNA and in their presentation will show the work that has been done towards building a true multiphysics simulation, discuss observations made and the challenges remaining.
