This session describes Renault's powertrain software process, which is based on Renault EMS 2010 modular software, rules, and tools that are applied in a MATLAB and Simulink based simulation and software integration platform that helps users throughout development, from the first evaluation of the requirement to the HIL validation of the strategy. This platform helps the different teams with:

• Strategy requirement definition
• Strategy design and validation
• Strategy tuning
• Physical model development for offline strategy performance evaluation
• Software integration

The goal is to share and enrich future software-integrated control strategies, physical models, and clients stimuli throughout the development process in order to increase reliability and quality, thereby decreasing development time.
