(TM4) is a Quebec based company developing and manufacturing electric and hybrid powertrain_x000D_
systems suitable for the commercial, automotive and recreational vehicle markets. TM4 has approached the_x000D_
University of Windsor to resolve the challenge in thermal simulation of electric motors to be incorporated into_x000D_
their current vehicle simulator. Through this collaborative project, the students of the University of Windsor_x000D_
will be closely working with the engineers of TM4 to develop a computationally efficient model for_x000D_
surface-mounted permanent magnet machines with thermal characterization capability. Then, this model will_x000D_
be integrated into the vehicle simulator to understand the powertrain limits manufactured by TM4 Inc. The_x000D_
proposed model should be able to run in a hardware-in-loop (HIL) real-time simulation environment to assist in_x000D_
motor control development as well. The success of this project will enable accurate and fast demonstration of_x000D_
TM4's solutions for electric powertrain systems to their local and global customers and expand their market._x000D_
This project will also lead to professionally competent skill development with respect to the postgraduate_x000D_
students, possible conference and journal publications and a patent., program purpose french : TM4 Inc. (TM4) is a Quebec based company developing and manufacturing electric and hybrid powertrain_x000D_
