Papalambros  which shifts motor operation points. On the motor design side, Abstract—Simulation-based design optimization of an electric stack length must be optimized again given the shifted vehicle (EV) propulsion system requires integration of a system operation points. model with detailed models of the components. In particular, a In earlier integration efforts in BEV design, motor rating high fidelity interior permanent-magnet (IPM) motor model is optimization used scaled maps derived from a baseline map in necessary in order to capture important physical effects, such as magnetic saturation. The system optimization challenge is to order to find an approximate motor rating given vehicle maintain adequate model fidelity with acceptable computational propulsion system and performance requirements [3,4]. This cost. This paper proposes a design method that incorporates method, howeve
