SAE J2546_200202

The modeling requirements listed in this document provide guidelines for specifying:

1. Analysis requirements

2. Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) simulator

3. Model fidelity

4. System assumptions

5. Model architecture

6. Validation requirements

7. Deliverables

for electrical/electronic components and the integral interfacing systems (mechanical, thermal, hydraulic) associated with these components.

The simulation models are primarily intended to facilitate functional specification and operational evaluation between component and system manufacturers, and are not intended to otherwise constrain or restrict the use of CAE simulation tools for automotive design, analysis and validation.
