Modeling and Simulation Lab

The modeling and simulation lab is equipped with the latest software used for vehicle development through General Motor’s Global Vehicle Development Process - the modeling and simulation process currently used to develop all of GM’s vehicles. Sophisticated hardware in the loop (HIL) and software in the loop (SIL) systems will be utilized. The team will be challenged to model and simulate the integration of the vehicle subsystems into the overall vehicle design. Overall, the emphasis is on optimizing a practical, realizable vehicle design. The mission of Missouri S&T is to integrate education and research to create and convey knowledge to solve problems for Missouri and the technological world. This facility represents just one of several which will be used by the team throughout the course of the competition. Further, as     E3=C
Missouri S&T is the only university in the United States that has over 90% of its student body majoring in engineering, the sciences, mathematics, or business, the EcoCAR team has a large pool of students to recruit from which excel in computer modeling and simulation.
