and uncertainty of older testing methods.
Lastly, this can help with safety and recycling.
For example, many governments are
developing " Digital Battery Passports " designed
to contain information on the battery
pack, its
lifespan and any deviation
from expected behaviors. Models and connected
data are a key element of this.
The Production Floor and
Beyond
Once an optimized battery design is
delivered, what then? A manufacturing
engineer might tell you this is when the
real work begins. There is an element of
truth to this. As with the design process,
battery manufacturing needs connected,
end-to-end solutions with visibility into
the product, the process and beyond.
Without this visibility, which must also
encompass the entire testing, fabrication
and assembly process, manufacturers are
left scrambling to identify the source
should an issue or defect arise.

These two images show how one cell design (at left) handles impact deformation better than
the other. Without advanced simulation capabilities, small differences like these would likely
go undetected.
It's a steep hill to climb, to be sure,
and it is made harder by the current
pace of change in the EV industry. All is
not lost, however. In battery innovation
and production, a systems approach unifying
real and virtual data with models
can help manufacturers innovate more
quickly, with better capabilities, at lower
cost, so that they win the race to EV
dominance.
From Dassault Systèmes' perspective,
such capabilities are the next step forward
in enabling BEV, the next chapter in
agile manufacturing, and the fundamental
underpinning of a more sustainable
future. Indeed, many of the G8 countries
and the leading global automotive manufacturers
see battery vehicles as the
tipping point for a greener world.
