Simulation, design and analysis

Our specialist capabilities, in simulation and analysis, supports clients, including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and tier 1 suppliers, to explore new opportunities and designs. 

We work across a variety of sectors and industries to enhance and implement future sustainable mobility solutions. 

Our clients are among some of the most innovative businesses and research organisations globally, including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and tier 1 suppliers.    

Our simulation and analysis experts work across multiple sectors and industries, including automotive, aerospace, and maritime, to support our clients to understand better their design and development requirements, and match simulation and analysis needs throughout the project life cycle.

Ricardo engineers are experts in propulsion system simulation and analysis across the automotive and industrial sectors. 

We develop industry leading approaches, such as Cloud-based architecture screening, battery thermal management, integrated control, and simulation solutions for clients, to optimise performance and improve efficiency.  

Our bespoke SELECT-R synthesis process for planetary automatic transmissions was created to provide clients with a rapid, robust, and efficient synthesis process for identifying the optimum conventional or electrified planetary automatic transmission architecture for a chosen application.

Automatic transmission powertrains require highly integrated electrification to reduce vehicle CO₂ emissions while maintaining key application attributes and minimising additional bill of materials cost.

The SELECT-R process supports the selection of automatic transmissions architecture for client requirements, including for passenger cars, off-highway, military, and other applications.
