This class is intended for users with previous experience or users who participate in this free-of-charge Introduction Training. 

This 2-day class will introduce to cabin modeling and simulation in GT-SUITE. It will introduce the user to the three different levels of cabin modeling in GT-SUITE: Mono-Volume, Multi-Volume and 3D. For each level the model building process will be covered, and best simulation practices introduced. For the 3D cabin the thermal structure will be modelled in GT-TAITherm. 

This course will be conducted online via web meeting.

To reserve your spot, you must have access to the following:

  • Computer with GT-SUITE v2021 (the training will be conducted with v2021, but if you only have v2020 that is acceptable)
  • Access to an active license
  • Good internet connection
  • Ideally two monitors/devices (although not required)
    • one to follow the instructor on the web meeting (web browser only)
    • one to use GT-SUITE for interactive model building

The class will consist primarily of interactive model building exercises. The following are the primary topics to be covered: 

  • Building a cabin air loop: Modeling of a cabin air loop including HVAC door, cabin blower, cabin heater and controls. Further the cabin air loop will be connected to an AC system. 
  • Mono-Volume cabin: Usage and calibration of a mono-volume cabin and integration into the cabin air loop 
  • Multi-Volume cabin: Usage and calibration of a multi-volume cabin and integration it into the cabin air loop 
  • 3D cabin: 
    • 3D Model building in COOL3D/GEM3D and export to GT-ISE
    • 3D thermal structure model in GT-TAITherm (Note: The model building in GT-TAITherm is covered in the Cabin Modeling (Advanced) training)
    • Usage and calibration of the 3D cabin and integration into the cabin air loop

*If you intend to participate in both Trainings (Basic and Advanced Cabin Modeling), please contact the instructor before registration. The regular fee will be $1300 and the university fee $700.

Due to the limited number of seats, priority will be given to commercial customers.
