GM’s VERDE Toolchain: Seamless Multiplatform Simulation Capability

This presentation highlights the platform-independent execution capabilities and expanded application scope of the GM^® VERDE Toolchain, developed using MATLAB^®, Simulink^®, and App Designer. By leveraging the FMI framework, the toolchain enables seamless cosimulation across a variety of GM tools, supporting controls coupling, thermal analysis, track performance evaluation, and standalone propulsion model development. A newly introduced FMU generation tool based in App Designer streamlines model creation through configurable templates for inputs, outputs, and tunable parameters. The VERDE Toolchain supports deployment across GM’s EV, ICE, and hybrid platforms, with applications spanning predictive thermal modeling, propulsion system simulation, and SIL/HIL/DIL environments. Ongoing development efforts focus on memory optimization, expanded parameter support, and integration of AI and machine learning technologies.
