Simulators
A number of simulators support BPX parameter input.
The simulators that currently support BPX parameter input are:
PyBaMM and DandeLiion were developed through the Faraday Institution Multi-scale Modelling project.
PyBaMM Python Battery Mathematical Modelling) is an open-source battery simulation tool built for speed, flexibility, and collaboration. It combines a framework for writing and solving differential equations, a library of battery models and parameters, and tools for simulating and visualising experiments. These features enable fast, customisable simulations with plug-and-play physics to explore battery designs and modelling assumptions. As of March 2025, it has been downloaded over 1 million times worldwide.
DandeLiion is an ultra-high-capacity battery modelling simulator for large simulations – electrochemical models of planar lithium-ion cells and thermal-electrochemical models of three-dimensional composite pouch cells.
AVL CRUISE™ M is a multidisciplinary, real-time capable system simulation tool that allows users to analyse mobility and energy concepts, design and dimension subsystems, and virtually integrate components. Its field of application encompasses a wide range of areas, including batteries, fuel cells, electrolysis, and combustion engines.
The upcoming version of Ansys Fluent (summer of 2025) will have a hidden feature to import BPX files. In the version issued in January 2026, this will be an official feature.
An evolving open standard
To remain fit for purpose, all industry standards require maintenance and a clear technical, commercially-informed roadmap. To ensure your technical requirements and commercial ambitions are reflected in the BPX roadmap, why not get involved?
