Testing system, testing method, and program recording medium for testing system

A testing method for testing a thermal management system that manages heat generated from one or a plurality of heat source components of a vehicle, the testing method using a testing system including:

• a simulated vehicle body that simulates a vehicle body of the vehicle;
• a simulated heat source body that is installed in the simulated vehicle body and thermally simulates the one or plurality of heat source components;
• and a heat supply device that supplies heat to the simulated heat source body, the testing method comprising:
• a heat amount calculation step for calculating a heat amount of heat generated from the one or plurality of heat source components of the vehicle during driving, based on a vehicle model that models the vehicle;
• and
• a simulated heat source body control step for controlling the heat supply device based on the calculated heat amount to cause the simulated heat source body to thermally simulate the one or plurality of heat source components.

A recording medium storing a program for a testing system for testing a thermal management system that manages heat generated from one or a plurality of heat source components of a vehicle, the testing system including:

• a simulated vehicle body that simulates a vehicle body of the vehicle;
• a simulated heat source body that is installed in the simulated vehicle body and thermally simulates the one or plurality of heat source components;
• and a heat supply device that supplies heat to the simulated heat source body, the program causing a computer to execute functions as:
• a heat amount calculation unit that calculates a heat amount of heat generated from the one or plurality of heat source components of the vehicle during driving, based on a vehicle model that models the vehicle;
• and
• a heat source body control unit that controls the heat supply device based on the calculated heat amount to cause the simulated heat source body to thermally simulate the one or plurality of heat source components.
