WARRENDALE, Pa., Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- SAE International's Automotive Engineering International (AEI) magazine offers a new webcast on math-based modeling for electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV).

"Mathematics-Based Modeling of a Series-Hybrid Electric Vehicle" will be held Thursday, Sept. 27 at 10 a.m. (EDT).

The automotive industry is in transformation. The complexity of the automobile has increased exponentially in the past decades and has triggered a design revolution that stresses detailed modeling and simulation steps prior to committing to metal and plastic. With new generation vehicles deploying hybrid (HEV), fully electric (EV), and fuel cell powerplants, the need for advanced physical modeling solutions is considerably greater due to increasing system complexity.

This webcast covers new approaches to modeling and simulation for HEV and EV vehicle applications with emphasis on the development of high-fidelity physical models of automotive batteries.

Industry expert participants for the webcast will include:

Dr. John McPhee, Professor, Systems Design Engineering, University of Waterloo, and NSERC/Toyota/Maplesoft Industrial Research Chair, Mathematics-based Modeling and Design
Dr. Sam Dao, Application Engineer, Maplesoft

Moderator for the event will be Lisa Arrigo, SAE International, Custom Electronic Products Editor, representing AEI magazine.
