Online Engine Modeling & Simulation (GT-POWER)

This 3 half-day class is designed for new users of GT-POWER and GT-SUITE that are interested in modeling internal combustion engines. This class will focus on engine simulation through the use of GT-POWER.

This course will be conducted online via web meeting.

Day 1 – Wednesday, 10th January– 9:00 – 16:00

Day 2 – Thursday, 11th January – 9:00 – 16:00

Day 3 – Friday, 12th January – 9:00 – 16:00

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

• Computer with GT-SUITE v2023 (the training will be conducted with v2023, but if you only have v2022 that is acceptable)
• Access to an active license
• Good internet connection
• Ideally two monitors/devices (although not required
  • one to use GT-SUITE for interactive model building
  • one to follow the instructor on the web meeting (web browser only)

The class will include the construction of models and use of the software, which will enable the participants to use the software immediately. It will cover the following topics:

Introductory Concepts of GT-SUITE:

• • • 1-D Flow Simulation
    • Discretization of 1-D Models
    • Model Setup- initialization, parameters sweep, convergence
    • Optimization/Design of Experiments
    • Post-processing (GT-POST)
    • Subassemblies: internal, external, encryption of subassemblies

The following engine modeling topics will be included:

• • • Modeling of: manifolds, valves, combustion, heat transfer and fuel injection
    • Non-Predictive Combustion for Gasoline and Diesel Engines
    • Cylinder Pressure Analysis
    • Turbochargers
    • Controls Library
    • Transient Simulation
    • Predictive Combustion Modeling

If time permits at the end of the class, additional topics can be covered including introductions to: Coupling with Simulink, CFD Coupling, and Exhaust Aftertreatment.

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