Abstract
Keywords: ABS system, ABS valve, braking system, model simplificaton, LMS Imagine.lab, AMESim, activity index, state count
The paper presents some simplification and validation techniques of an ABS/ESP valve using LMS Imagine.lab - AMESim. Initialy a complex model of the valve is build and reducing this initial model, step by step, in order to keep the continuity, a fucntional model was obtained. Different but complementary model reduction techniques like activity index and state count were used. Both steady-state and dynamic behavior of the model was validated by experimental data.
