Design Advisor in Vehicle Design Process

Description

Short description:
Trains learners in using the Design Advisor to assess life cycle emissions, cost, and mass in vehicle design.

Long description:
This module provides hands-on training in the use of the Design Advisor to assess the environmental impact of vehicle components across the life cycle. It demonstrates how to define a nominal vehicle, compare it with a competitor vehicle, and analyze mass, cost, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across production and use stages. Learners gain insights into the five-step workflow of the Design Advisor, including vehicle setup, powertrain configuration, and component comparison. Emphasis is placed on data-driven design choices that optimize sustainability and performance.

What you will learn

- Define and configure a Nominal and Competitor Vehicle in the Design Advisor.
- Input component and vehicle parameters to assess GHG emissions, cost, and mass.
- Interpret results of use-phase and production-phase analyses.
- Apply a structured workflow to compare vehicle design alternatives.
- Evaluate design decisions using life cycle data and component trade-offs.
