Online Hydraulic Systems & Components

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

This course will introduce engineers to the modeling of fuel injection and hydraulic components and complete hydraulic systems in GT-SUITE.  

This course will be conducted online via web meeting.

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 follow the instructor on the web meeting (web browser only)
  • one to use GT-SUITE for interactive model building

The class will include discussions of simple to detailed, predictive component models in which the fluid-mechanical interaction is important. Most of the instructions will be based on interactive model building but may also include demonstrations from the instructor and guided examination/analysis of pre-built models. 

• Introduction to Flow Solution in GT-SUITE  

• Discretization of 1-D Models 
• Fluid Properties for modeling hydraulic circuits 
• Explanation of flow solvers used for different hydraulic tasks 

• Modeling hydraulic and injection components: create detailed, predictive models of hydraulic components in which the fluid-mechanical interaction is important. Examples of the components to be discussed include high pressure pumps, pressure control valves, injectors, etc. Pressure pulsation will also be analyzed. 
• Modeling pumps: discussion of different levels of models as well as the different types of pumps. 

• Modeling a hydraulic system: build a model of the full system. Various levels of detail for modeling the hydraulic components (pumps, valves, etc.) will be discussed, ranging from imposing the behavior to predicting it. 
• Modeling of control parts interacting with hydraulic components

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