Claytex specialises in modelling and simulation of complex systems and providing consulting services, training and software solutions. We focus on simulation for systems engineering and understanding the interactions of systems with their environment.
Everything we do at Claytex is about modelling and simulation. Systems Engineering is a very broad topic and here at Claytex we focus on the modelling and simulation of the systems to understand their behaviour and dynamics. Our work covers multiple industries and domains such as vehicle dynamics and pwoertrain, energy management of buildings, flight dynamics of drones, thermal management and extends into the virtual testing of ADAS and autonomous vehicles with physics based sensor models. We help our customers understand their designs to make better products, faster.
We develop simulation solutions using the open standards of Modelica, FMI, OpenSCENARIO and OpenDRIVE; distribute systems engineering solutions from Dassault Systemes, rFpro and specialist Modelica library developers. Our portfolio of tools includes Dymola, Reqtify, rFpro as well as our own software products including the VeSyMA suite of solutions. We also build bespoke simulation tools for specialist applications.
Alessandro Picarelli – Engineering Director – Bio
Alessandro Picarelli has been working in the automotive industry since finishing his MSc in Advanced Mechanical Engineering at University of Warwick in 2001. He started working in Powertrain strategy at Jaguar Land Rover in 2001. He then moved to the IARC (International Automotive Research Centre) at Warwick University in 2005 to develop simulation tools for a range of hybrid vehicle architectures ranging from refuse trucks to race cars. From 2007 Alessandro has been working in systems simulation at Claytex and has been responsible for the delivery of a variety of projects ranging from thermal management to watch mechanisms to whole vehicle modelling, powertrain modelling, virtual testing and driver-in-the-loop applications. He is an advocate for using a holistic approach for systems integration and vehicle engineering rather than it being carried out in silos.
