GT-SUITE & TAITherm Cabin Coupling Technical Demo
Gamma Technologies has teamed up with ThermoAnalytics to offer a unique coupling feature which allows fast & accurate predictions of highly detailed cabin comfort together with the full HVAC simulation.
We will be holding two joint 30 minute technical demos at this year’s SAE COMVEC conference in Chicago to show you how to combine the most powerful features of GT and TAI tools to design this important system.
The two sessions will be identical and held on October 4th at 1:00 PM and 4:00PM, during scheduled breaks from technical seminars.
At this seminar you will learn how to design and control an entire HVAC system and transient cabin comfort simulation using the tight coupling of GT-SUITE and TAITherm. This coupling process leads to an efficient solution that is faster than real time.
The session will also include topics such as:
- Transient 3D simulation of cabin heat transfer
- 1D simulation of the A/C loop and controls
- Assessment of occupant thermal comfort with manikin model
- Controlling the HVAC system using manikin model comfort metrics as input
