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.

GTI reserves the right to limit the number of registrations at university discounted pricing to 2 members per Formula SAE or Formula student team. Additional members of a team may register at full price. If more than 2 members of a team want to attend at university pricing, please contact GTI and the additional members will be placed on a waiting list. If seats are still available a week before the class begins, the additional members may be allowed to register.
