Multiphysical Design Approach for Automotive Electronic Throttle Body

Companies always search for alternative solutions for designing mechatronic systems in more efficient ways to cope with the high-performance standards, competitive market, and design time reduction. In this article, we present a complete multiphysical approach to design and validate an electronic throttle body (ETB) system in a concurrent way. Our goal is to reduce the modeling and test efforts by using an enriched multiphysical model in the preliminary phase. This model is the main stone that connects different fields and ensures efficient collaboration. This article is the result of a close collaboration between laboratories and industrials in the automotive field and aims at developing a methodology that takes into account collaboration constraints during design. Thanks to this approach, industrial requirements of the ETB are achieved at an early stage. An experimental test bench is presented to validate the simulation results.
