Online Valvetrain Modeling (Advanced)

This class is designed for users with previous experience in GT-SUITE Valvetrain Applications. It will focus on the simulation of special engine valvetrains topics through the use of 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 following topics will be covered: 

Dynamic correlation 

• Typical measurements 
• Recommended correlation procedures 

Springs 

• Comparison of Eigenfrequencies, Fatigue 
• Preview of new feature outputs 

Tribology 

• Hertzian Stress and Film models 
• Key roughness inputs 
• Detailed stress analysis 
• Roller crown shaping 

Camshaft 

• Estimating Seal data 
• Bending effects 

Bearings 

• Simplified GT models
• Detailed HD models 
• Defining odd feed geometries 
• EHD (Elasto-Hydrodynamics) 

HLA (Hydraulic Lash Adjuster) 

• Simple GT model calibration 
• Detailed flow model, breakdown and topology changes (relief valve) 

Each application will be attended by small exercises to cover a broad range of applications. If time permits, more specialized topics, including timing drives and engine performance integration, may be covered as requested by participants.

*If you intend to participate in both Trainings (Basic and Advanced Valvetrain 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.
