This FREE training seminar is intended for experienced GT-POWER users, and will cover a wide variety of topics at an advanced level.  If you are interest in GT-POWER training but do not have prior experience, please consider this class: http://www.gtisoft.com/training/training-event.php?Id=234 

Special attention will be given to introducing new features in the new GT-POWER Version 7.1, but will also cover a variety of advanced modeling topics such as best modeling practices, calibration, under-used and misused features.  Additional, some interesting application examples will likely be discussed. 

Due to the limited room capacity, seats will be allocated preferentially to OEMs and suppliers. This class will be held at the Townsend hotel on Tuesday, November 9th, the day after the GT-SUITE Conference. Computers will NOT be provided to attendees and will not be required, but attendees are welcome to bring along their own laptop to follow along and participate. V7.1 installation CDs and temporary licenses will be made available to those who wish to bring laptops. (Please make a note when registering if you plan to laptop during the training. We will contact you closer to the date of the class to arrange the licensing.) The following topics will be on the agenda for the training class, but we encourage attendees to also suggest additional topics when registering. In addition, there should be some limited time available for questions during the class as well:
 
Advanced Engine Applications
  • New Feature:  Crank-angle resolved real-time engine models for HiL and SiL using standard GT-POWER engine cylinders;  applicable to system models beyond just engine simulation including cooling circuit, underhood, air-conditioning, and more.  This feature provides detailed, unsteady flow results and is a simple and easy alternative method to reducing the detailed model to mean value.
  • Engine start-stop modeling (simulation of the engine at standstill)
Combustion and In-Cylinder
  • Improvements to SI predictive combustion modeling (SITurb)
  • Review of tumble modeling its usage in SI combustion modeling.  (Some applicability to diesel swirl too.)
  • Introduction to multi-cycle combustion analysis, especially for SI knock analysis (final version may not be released until late 2010 or early 2011)
  • Multi-mode combustion (i.e. switching between different combustion models cycle-to-cycle
  • Review of cylinder pressure analysis and burn rate calculation (This is an area where we observe frequent modeling errors)
  • New injection modeling options for diesel injection profiles
Breathing, Manifolds, and Acoustics
  • Valve profile optimization (duration stretching, etc.) with realistic design parameters and constraints
  • Introduction to dynamic valve modeling (i.e. bounce, valve separation, etc.) in detail engine models
  • Recommendations for optimal modeling of EGR cooler and CAC coolers
  • Improved usability and initialization for coupling with 3DCFD
  • Turbocharger improvements
General Modeling Topics
  • Easy to use, dedicated controllers for turbo, EGR, and part load
  • GT-ISE. GT-POST, and GEM3D upgrades in Version 7.1.
  • V7.0 to V7.1 Evolution recommendations
