Structural adhesives have become an essential joining technology in vehicle manufacturing. This applies to complex and sensitive components within battery assemblies for electric vehicles.

Now, with EVs and their battery packs being mass manufactured, it is more important than ever to optimize assembly operations and specify advanced technologies for the best result.

Adhesives improve battery pack structural integrity, durability, and crash performance – as well as provide the design freedom and lightweighting that is enabled by the ability to bond dissimilar substrates.

This webinar presents advanced adhesive technologies and applications that optimize battery assembly. Topics include:

Crash durable bonding of battery compartments using toughened epoxy resin technologies

Flexible mid- and high-modulus polyurethane adhesives with differentiated curing kinetics for lean manufacturing and battery lid reinforcement bonding

Hybrid adhesives with extremely short curing times for load bearing fixation of battery modules

Cell-to-cell and cell-to-module bonding will also be discussed.

• Thermal finite element modeling with simplifying assumptions can be used to analyze a sudden high temperature thermal event from one cylindrical cell, and compute how heat is dissipated through the cured resins to neighboring cells

• Computational fluid dynamics can be used to assess the flow behavior of thermosetting potting resin between cylindrical battery cells, as well as between cells and the walls of the EV battery pack

• Mechanical finite element modeling shows how structural resonance frequencies change as a function of cured resin modulus, with implication on noise and vibration management

• These model calculations can be used to iterate through different polymeric resin designs at early stages of battery pack design, and is a valuable tool for new material developers

In the dynamic landscape of automotive manufacturing, harnessing the power of analytics is paramount for staying ahead of the curve. Did you know that most OEMs utilize less than 1%* of their operational data? But fear not, analytics holds the key to unlocking solutions for today’s challenges and preparing for tomorrow’s obstacles.

During this webinar we will follow the design of a new battery electric vehicle, and demonstrate how MODSIM can impact the smallest details of battery design, such as optimizing the electrochemistry or selecting the optimal pack configuration, all the way to the larger questions of test management, control strategies, and the certification for WLTP regulation. In addition, we will show a number of real-world examples from the Lifesciences, Marine, and Consumer Packaging industries where MODSIM has delivered significant business benefits.

We will demonstrate how MODSIM is a key enabler for transformation. MODSIM enabled process’ can now reduce the times of complex modeling & simulation tasks from weeks to days. By widespread deployment of such processes, MODSIM can compress development cycle times, and yet still allow for the cutting-edge optimization of complex systems, with advanced techniques such as machine learning. This ability to do realistic virtual testing earlier allows more innovation and more efficient use of resources. The overall effect of these transformations is to deliver significant business benefits – a more desirable and cost-effective product, delivered more quickly.
