Interfacing GT-SUITE with External Software – PM Session

This seminar starts the day after the US GT-SUITE Conference. You can register for both the conference and this event together at the same time by clicking the ‘Register’ button at the Conference page

This 1/2 day seminar focuses on the diverse ways GT-SUITE can be used in combination with external modeling software to simulate the whole vehicle or its subsystems. Topics on the agenda will include:

POWERTRAIN: Motormodellierung (GT-POWER)

This course will be taught in German language.  However, this class is also available in English on other dates.

Dies ist eine 3-Tages-Schulung, bestimmt für neue Anwender von GT-POWER und GT-SUITE, die an der Modellierung von Verbrennungskraftmaschinen interessiert sind.  Diese Schulung legt das Hauptaugenmerk auf die Simulation von Motoren mit GT-POWER.  Jedem Teilnehmer wird ein eigener Computer gestellt.  Die Schulung beinhaltet die Erstellung von Modellen und Anwendung der Software.  Dies ermöglicht einen sofortigen Einsatz der Software.

Folgende Themen werden behandelt:

Einführung in GT-SUITE:

• 1-D Ladungswechselsimulation
• Diskretisierung von 1-D Modellen
• Modell Setup – Initialisierung, Parametervariationen, Konvergenz, Optimierung / Design of Experiments
• Datenauswertung (GT-POST)
• Subassemblies: intern, extern, Verschlüsselung von Subassemblies

 Die folgenden Motorenthemen werden behandelt:

• Modellierung von:  Sammler, Ventile, Verbrennung, Wärmeübergang und Kraftstoffeinspritzung
• Nicht prädiktive Verbrennungsmodelle für Otto- und Dieselmotoren
• Zylinderdruckanalyse
• Aufladung
• Abgasrückführung
• Verfügbare Regler und Anwendung
• Transiente Simulation
• Prädiktive Verbrennungsmodelle

Falls es die Zeit zulässt, können am Ende der Schulung zusätzliche Themen behandelt werden, je nach Interesse der Teilnehmer z.B.:  Kopplung mit Simulink, Kopplung mit CFD, Abgasnachbehandlung.  Bitte geben Sie bei der Registrierung im Feld ‘Area of Interest’ an, für welchen Zweck Sie GT-POWER verwenden möchten.
