This course will focus on the simulation of turbocharged internal combustion engines.  It has been designed for automotive engineers who have already experienced using GT-POWER to simulate engines, want to learn how GT-POWER models turbochargers and want to learn techniques that improve the speed and results of models.  The class will include interactive work in GT-POWER using models provided by GTI.  In addition, the class will be flexible, allowing the participants to select among certain topics, so they have an opportunity to learn about topics that relate to their work.

1. Modeling turbocharged engines using GT-POWER

• Modeling of turbochargers
• Map fitting and extrapolation
• Intercooler/Aftercooler modeling: simple, semi-predictive and predictive
• Convergence
• Transient events

2. Potential turbocharging topics (to be decided by the participants at the beginning of the class)

• Use of the wastegate controller template to meet a desired boost pressure or other target (exercise)
• Calibration of controls when more than one is present (e.g., wastegate and EGR)
• Understanding and troubleshooting poor fits of turbine maps
• Modeling pressure-wave-superchargers (e.g., Hyprex andComprex)
• Acoustic behavior of compressor and turbine models
• Use of the compressor surge model
• Improved handling of specific heat ratio in GT-POWER in v7.1
• Matching turbochargers to engines using TurboMapMatch
• Using mean value cylinders to study advanced turbocharging concepts (two-stage, turbocompounding, e-boost, etc.)

3. Open discussion (participants may pose questions to the instructor)

Upon registration, participants are asked to send Mr. Zenker ([email protected]) an email listing the other topics in item 2 that they want to discuss.  This will give Mr. Zenker enough time to prepare course material and exercises (if appropriate) for the selected topics

This 2-day course is designed for new users of GT-SUITE that are interested in modeling valvetrains.  This course will focus on the construction and analysis of a common valvetrain configuration, which will enable the participants to use the software immediately. It will cover the following topics:

• Introductory Concepts of GT-SUITE

• 2-D Mechanical Simulation 
• Model Setup- initialization, parameters sweeps, Optimization/Design of Experiments
• Post-processing (GT-POST)   
• Subassemblies and User Compounds

• Cam Design (VTDesign)

• Valvetrain mechanism kinematics, quasi-static analysis (VTDesign)

• Generate valve lift from cam shape or vice-versa
• Calculate idealized separation speed  (or Spring Margin)

• Dynamic modeling of valvetrains

• Modeling Contacts for Hertz Pressure and Oil Film Calculations
• Multi-mass Spring Modeling
• Adding Compliance to Valvetrain Components
• Hydraulic lash adjusters

If time permits additional topics may also be covered.  These topics will be selected by the participants and some possible options are:
Full Camshaft Modeling, Timing drives, Cam Phasers, Integrated models (with GT-POWER, cranktrain or hydraulics), Variable Lift Mechanisms, Transient simulations, user-supplied.

Exhaust Aftertreatment Modeling (GT-POWER)

IF YOU ARE STILL INTERESTED IN ATTENDING THIS CLASS PLEASE CONTACT LANA CASTILLO AT 1-630-325-5848.

This 1-day class is intended for GT-POWER users interested in learning how to model exhaust aftertreatment systems for gasoline and diesel engines. The class will include discussion of exhaust aftertreatment modeling theory, and construction of exhaust aftertreatment system models using GT-POWER. Each student will be provided with a computer. The following topics will be discussed in detail:

• TWC, DPF, SCR, and other exhaust aftertreatment devices
• Modeling of chemical kinetic reactions for catalysts
• Soot filtration and regeneration models for DPFs
• Techniques for calibrating DPF pressure drop and soot regeneration
• Techniques for calibrating kinetic reaction mechanisms
• 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D heat transfer modeling options
• Compounds and subassemblies for encryption of sensitive reaction information

A pre-requisite to the class is completion of a GT-POWER basic training class or completion of GT-POWER Engine Performance tutorials 1-4 and the GT-POST tutorials. Students are expected to know how to use GT-ISE and GT-POST before attending this class. There will not be time to teach students how to use GT-ISE and GT-POST during the class.

Note: Feel free to bring a USB flash drive to the training class so you can save your models and other presentation material.

North American GT-SUITE Conference

The 2011 North American GT-SUITE Conference will be held on November 7th at the Townsend Hotel in Birmingham, Michigan (Detroit area, same location as previous years): http://www.townsendhotel.com

This year, there will be presentations from many prestigious organizations including: Earnhart-Childress Racing, Eaton, FEV, GM Powertrain, IAV, Mahle Powertrain, U.S. EPA, and the University of Michigan.

There is no charge for the conference. The objective of the conference is to bring users together with the GT-SUITE developers, provide an overview of the developments at GTI over the last year, discuss future directions, and to get feedback from the users. In addition, users can meet with other experts in their area, renew old friendships and establish new ones. The conference will be in English.

Engine Modeling (GT-POWER)

This 3-day course is designed for new users of GT-POWER and GT-SUITE that are interested in modeling internal combustion engines. This course will focus on engine simulation through the use of GT-POWER. Each student will be provided with a computer. The course will include the construction of models and use of the software, which will enable the participants to use the software immediately. It will cover the following topics:

Introductory Concepts of GT-SUITE    

• 1-D Flow Simulation   
• Discretization of 1-D Models   
• Model Setup- initialization, parameters sweeps, convergence Optimization/Design of Experiments   
• Post-processing (GT-POST)   
• Subassemblies: internal, external, encryption of subassemblies

The following engine modeling topics will be included:   

• Modeling of: manifolds, valves, combustion, heat transfer and fuel injection
• Non-Predictive Combustion for Gasoline and Diesel Engines   
• Cylinder Pressure Analysis   
• Turbochargers   
• EGR   
• Controls Library  
• Transient Simulation   
• Predictive Combustion Modeling

If time permits at the end of the class, additional topics can be covered including introductions to: Coupling with Simulink, CFD Coupling, and Exhaust Aftertreatment. When registering, please note how you plan to use GT-POWER in the ‘Area of Interest’ field.

Note: This class starts the day after the North American GT-SUITE Conference. To view details and register for the conference click here

Lubrication Seminar (Free)

October 7, 2011- Gamma Technologies has just learned that there is limited hotel availability in Frankfurt and Eschborn during the period of the training courses (due to a very large CPhI Pharmaceutical conference in Frankfurt this week).  The only hotel availability seems to be in surrounding towns (such as Wiesbaden, Kelsterbach, and Rüsselsheim).  Please click here to view hotel suggestions in these areas.  It is highly suggested to make hotel reservations as soon as possible.

This one day seminar is intended for both existing users and new users who are interested in learning more about advanced concepts with lubrication circuit modeling in GT-SUITE. New and useful features for v7.2 will be discussed, as well as modeling components in detail such as bearings and pumps.  The list of topics covered in the seminar include:

This FREE training seminar is intended for experienced GT-SUITE users who are modeling thermal management systems, and will cover a wide variety of topics, assuming previous experience.  If you are interested in training on modeling systems with GT-SUITE, but have no prior experience, please consider this class:

Vehicle System Cooling Modeling

This seminar will introduce new features of GT-SUITE Version 7.2 relevant to thermal management, but will also cover other topics such as best modeling practices, common questions, and interesting application examples.

Due to limited room capacity, seats will be allocated preferentially to OEMs and suppliers.  This class will be held at the Steigenberger Hotel on October 25, the day after the GT-SUITE Conference.  Computers will NOT be provided to attendees and will not be required, but attendees are welcome to bring along their own laptop to follow along and participate.  V7.2 installation CDs and temporary licenses will be made available to those who wish to bring laptops.  (Please make a note when registering if you plan to bring a laptop to the training.  We will contact you closer to the date of the class to arrange licensing).
