• Siemens AMESIM thermal simulation and hydraulic component library building. Correlation within 5% of brake system test data. • Multi-Body simulation of Brembo Sensify Brake-by-Wire, ZF Active suspension, Schaffler rear steering, and Bosch Steer-by-Wire with Black Box, FMI or Digital Twin in ADAMs. This model was used to validate and tune for MiL, HiL and SiL system testing. • Full vehicle analysis of a prototype with fully integrated By-Wire systems during a winter test in Swedenwith Matlab / Simulink.
