This season focuses on modeling and analyzing hydraulic suspension systems using Amesim, a powerful simulation platform for system design and optimization. Hydraulic suspensions play a critical role in modern vehicle engineering, offering dynamic adaptability to improve ride comfort, stability, and load-handling capabilities. The context for this training is to equip participants with the knowledge and skills required to model, simulate, and compare various configurations of hydraulic suspension systems under different operating conditions. This includes exploring both static height correction and dynamic regulation loop designs to understand their effectiveness in real-world scenarios like charge transfer (e.g., load shifts during braking, acceleration, or cornering).

Simcenter Amesim is a comprehensive simulation platform for modeling, analyzing, and optimizing multi-domain systems such as hydraulic, mechanical, electrical, and thermal systems. It is a central tool for designing and simulating hydraulic suspension systems, integrating hydraulic, mechanical, and control subsystems seamlessly.

•  Hydraulic system modeling using the Hydraulic Library.
• Suspension dynamics modeling using the Vehicle Dynamics Library.
• Signal processing and control implementation using the Signal Control Library.
  

These libraries/tools will be explored step-by-step, with examples ranging from basic hydraulic suspension models to advanced systems with static height correction and regulation loops. Each module will focus on practical application and simulation insights.

• Engineers and researchers in the automotive sector, working on suspension design and vehicle dynamics.
• Professionals in hydraulic system design, focusing on energy efficiency and performance optimization.
• Individuals looking to deepen their expertise in simulation tools like Amesim for vehicle system modeling.
