The workshop will consist of interactive model building, demonstrations from the instructor, and guided examination/analysis of pre-built models. The participant will learn about the advantages and use of GT-SUITE for modeling the complete injection system (pump, flow network, injectors, etc.) as well as integration of predictive injection models with predictive combustion models in GT-POWER.
Modeling a complete injection circuit-Both gasoline direct injection and diesel common rail circuits will be discussed. The following topics will be covered:

– Different levels of modeling the injector
– Modeling of the flow network
– Advantages of the GT-SUITE solution
Please note that this is not a training class. This hands-on workshop is intended to allow the participant to experience the general capabilities of GT-SUITE for injection system modeling without going in to some of the details that would be covered in a full training class. This workshop can be followed by a free evaluation of the software.

Mean Value and Real Time Engine Modeling-Germany
This one-day course will introduce mean value cylinder engine modeling and will focus on the method by which a detailed GT-POWER model can be simplified to a mean value engine model. A mean value model uses a simplified neural network-based engine cylinder, as well as a simplified intake and exhaust system. This results in a model that executes much more rapidly than the typical detailed GT-POWER engine model. The speed of a mean value model simulation makes these types of models useful for vehicle or control system level transient simulations where computation speed is critical. Mean value models may be used for both software in the loop (SiL) simulations or hardware in the loop (HiL) simulations. The course will include introductions to Design of Experiments (DOE) and neural network control capabilities in GT-SUITE, as these tools are integral to mean value modeling. Each student will have his or her own computer and will participate in the class by converting an example detailed model to a mean value model.
1. Introduction to mean value modeling
2. Conversion of detailed model to mean value model
• Characterizing the detailed model using DOE
• Training neural networks to control mean value cylinder
• Simplifying intake and exhaust systems
• Model calibration and other considerations
3. Running a mean value model on an RT system
• Preparing a mean value model to run RT
• Setting up a coupled Simulink RT model
• General description HiL capabilities and supported vendors
This class will be taught in English.

Modeling Lubrication Circuits in GT-SUITE- Day 2
This Day 2 event is an option to the GT-SUITE Solution Seminar ( Modeling Lubrication Circuits in GT-SUITE- Day 1). It gives the Day 1 participants the opportunity to have a custom built model of their own lubrication circuit, as well as a personalized training tailored to their engine layout.
A case study of an engine lube circuit should be sent by the registered company to Gamma Technologies one month prior to the seminar in order to give the instructors sufficient time to build a model. On this Day 2, the instructor will provide the model to the participant and go over the model in detail so that the participant has a working model of their system.
This one-on-one session could take place either the day after the seminar in Stuttgart or at the worksite of the client in the days after the seminar if necessary.
Also included in the fee is a two month evaluation license of GT-SUITE with full modeling support and software hotline.
Upon registration of the second day of the seminar, participants will be contacted by Jon or Christian to understand the type of model the participant would like to build.

Modeling of Underhood Cooling Modules Workshop
COOL-3D is a CAD-based preprocessing tool used in conjunction with GT-COOL to simulation 3-D underhood cooling modules integrated with 1-D cooling circuits. COOL-3D allows for the solution of the transient air flow around and/or through grilles, blockages, stacked heat exchangers, fans, and the engine block. Consequently, COOL-3D is able to predict the transient thermal performance of the cooling module, which is crucial to accurately simulating the overall cooling system performance.
This free seminar will consist of three parts…
1. Overview of 1-D cooling circuit modeling with GT-COOL
2. Overview of 3-D underhood cooling module modeling with COOL-3D
3. Integration of a 3-D underhood cooling module with a 1-D cooling circuit for transient flow and thermal simulation

GT-POWER: Mean Value and Real Time Engine Modeling – Detroit
This one-day course will introduce mean value cylinder engine modeling and will focus on the method by which a detailed GT-POWER model can be converted to a mean value engine model. A mean value model uses a simplified map-based engine cylinder. This results in a model that executes much more rapidly than a model containing standard cylinder components, since the breathing and combustion processes are not calculated. Engine models which incorporate mean value cylinders are typically used in situations where fast computation speed is very important and detailed characterization of engine processes is considered relatively unimportant, such as control system design studies or long vehicle transients. The course will also include introductions to Design of Experiments (DOE) and Neural Network control capabilities in GT-SUITE, as these tools are integral to mean value modeling. Each student will have his or her own computer and will participate in the class by converting an example detailed model to a mean value model.

• Heat transfer, Pressure drop
• Turbochargers
• Engine friction
• Training a neural network to control mean value cylinder
3. Running a mean value model on an RT system
• General description of RT capabilities and hardware requirements
• Mean value model modifications to run RT
• Procedure to run RT

GT-POWER Advanced Training: Use of GEM-3D – Detroit
GEM 3D is a CAD-based tool that is designed to assist users in the modeling of engine exhaust and intake systems in GT-POWER. This feature is new to GT-SUITE starting in version 6.2 and it will supersede GT-Muffler. In this class, users will learn how to use GEM 3D to model various exhaust and intake systems, including mufflers, resonators and airboxes. In addition, time will be left at the end of the day for open discussion and questions regarding acoustic analysis and any other topics relating to GT-POWER and GT-SUITE.
I. GEM 3D has been developed as a pre-processor to GT-POWER. It is a tool in which a model of a complete exhaust or intake system can be built, including multiple mufflers, resonators, airboxes and the pipes that connect them. This tool enables the user to build detailed and sophisticated models in a 3-D CAD-based tool. Shell shapes can be built by importing STL files. Internal parts (e.g. pipes, baffles, sleeves, perforates and wool) can be added to the mufflers and resonators. Once the system is complete, the entire system can be discretized into a system of components (e.g., pipes and flowsplits) that can be used in GT-SUITE. This includes the capability to build mufflers with pipes that bend at angles other than 90 and 180 degrees and pipes that can lie at any angle relative to the origin. The following topics will be covered:
• Capabilities of the tool
• Creating and importing shells
• Addition of pipes, baffles, sleeves, perforates and absorbing wool
• Visualization techniques (rotation, zooming, panning, viewing windows)
• Importing final model into GT-ISE
• Future advancements
II. Open forum for discussion of all GT-POWER and GT-SUITE related topics.
