Online GT-SUITE Introduction Training

This FREE course will introduce GT-SUITE to new users. The course will be two half-days with a break from approximately 1-2 CST.

The intention of this training is to teach handling of the software to enable users to build models and post-process results. This is demonstrated through hands-on exercises with relatively simple models in the flow, mechanical, and thermal domains.

The focus is not on those specific models or domains, but rather learning the software usage. Therefore, this course is recommended for anyone interested in using GT-SUITE, regardless of their specific application. Additional classes are available on the following day(s) which will build upon the material in this course and cover more details on specific applications.

This course will be conducted online via web meeting. A link will be e-mailed to you in the week prior to the class.

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

• Computer with GT-SUITE v2022 (the training will be conducted with v2022, but if you only have v2021 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

Introductory Concepts of GT-SUITE:

• Model Building (GT-ISE)
• Model Setup: initialization, parameter sweeps
• Controls
• Post-processing (GT-POST)
• Model organization & sharing
• Object libraries
• Optimization

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

 

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.

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.
