GT-POWER: Advanced Training – Germany

This course is intended for users of GT-POWER who want to learn some of the more advanced features. The specific topics covered are:

1.   Turbochargers: The participant will learn how turbochargers are simulated in GT-POWER and add a turbocharger to an existing model. In addition, techniques to examine convergence and improve run time will be addressed.
2.   Cylinder Pressure Analysis: The participant will learn how to calculate combustion burn rate from measured pressure data using both TPA (three-pressure analysis) and the more conventional method. 3.   Controls: The participant will learn how to use controls templates. The participant will learn how to build a control system to achieve a target value, for example, control of EGR from the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold.
4.   Optimization/DOE: The participant will learn both the Optimizer and Design of Experiments, and when to use the appropriate tool. An example of a DOE will be run and data will be post-processed in DOE -Post.
5.   Open Forum: Discussion of all topics realating to GT-POWER and GT-SUITE. Some topics of interest may be:

• Predictive Combustion
  
• Simultaneous coupled simulation of engine, cooling system, powertrain, fuel system, ect
  
• GT-POST
  
• Transient simulation
  
• Predictive cylinder wall temperature model

Upon registration, participants are asked to send to GTI ([email protected]) an email listing the topics in item 5 that they want to discuss, also including any other topics of interest. This will give the instructor enough time to prepare course material and exercises for the selected topics.
