GT-SUITE Applications

GT-SUITE, which contains GT-POWER, is a single software tool for modeling and simulation of systems in automotive and transportation engineering and beyond.   It is based on a multi-physics platform, but offers higher-level, added-value toolboxes specifically tailored to a continually broadening set of applications:

• Engine performance modeling (including combustion and turbocharging)
• Analysis of measured engine cylinder pressure (combustion profiles)
• Exhaust aftertreatment
  
• Acoustics of intakes and exhaust
  
• Sil, HiL and Real-Time simulation of engine, vehicle, and cooling
• Vehicle dynamics (drive cycles, drivelines)
• Hybrid and electric vehicles, fuel cells
• Cooling systems
• Vehicle Thermal Management
• Underhood cooling module analysis (3-D solution with COOL3D)
• AC and Rankine  Two-Phase Flow (AC, Rankine)
• Lubrication circuits and bearings
• Fuel injection systems
• Valvetrain/Camshaft kinematics and dynamics
• Cranktrain kinematics and dynamics (balancing, engine bearings and mounts)
• Crankshaft durability and fatigue
• Chain, gear and belt system dynamics (timing drives)

 GT-SUITE, being a single program, allows modeling of these applications both independently, as has traditionally been the norm in the industry, or with several of these systems in one model to get the full integrated effect of the system.   For example consider the cooling circuit with Charged-Air-Cooler & EGR Cooler and its link to engine performance: this can be readily analyzed in a single model for warm-up analysis & for the design of combined cooling circuit and engine.
