In Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2302 we release a dedicated workflow to accelerate the setup time of thermal runaway propagation simulations for batteries from hours down to minutes. This leads to an increasing demand for simulation to reduce the cost of testing and make safety design economically efficient. Such legislation forces major players making and using batteries to conduct numerous costly and lengthy tests to obtain certifications. With the rapid growth of electric vehicles circulating on the roads, new safety rules have been put in place at the country level but also internationally with new UN safety rules regarding the use of Li-ion batteries.
