We present the approach and results of a case study aiming to evaluate a use case for linking Adams and Romax. The use case we chose for this study involves running time domain simulation in Adams of a vehicle completing a prescribed drive cycle based on the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) and extracting the transmission torque, speed and selected gear at each time step. This data is then processed and applied to a more detailed model of the transmission in Romax software. The Romax model and corresponding duty cycles obtained from Adams are used to perform component rating for durability assessment.

This case study was originally presented at the 2021 Adams Durability Symposium.
