As electrification accelerates across the automotive sector, engineers face growing challenges in managing heat within compact, high-power e-drive systems. Traditional air and water-jacket cooling methods are no longer sufficient, demanding innovative oil-based strategies that can cool both the motor and transmission in a single, integrated system.
TotalEnergies applied Particleworks to develop and validate a workflow that accurately predicts electromagnetic losses, oil flow, and thermal behaviour; enabling the comparison of direct oil-jet and water-jacket cooling approaches. The study demonstrates how simulation can drive smarter oil selection, extend component life, and accelerate e-drive development.
