This class is intended for users with previous experience or users who participate in this free-of-charge Introduction Training.

This course is designed for new users of GT-SUITE Valvetrain Application.  It will focus on the simulation of engine valvetrains through the use of VTDesign and GT-SUITE.  There will also be an introduction to the new ValvetrainDesign interface in GT-SUITE.  The following topics will be covered:

Cam Design (VTDesign)

  • Develop a profile design starting from an existing reference profile

Spring Layout (VTDesign)

Valvetrain mechanism kinematics, quasi-dynamic analysis (ValvetrainDesign)

  • 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

If time permits, more specialized topics may be covered as requested by participants.  Some possible topics are: Hydraulic lash adjusters, Cam Phasers, Variable Valve actuation, Transient simulations, CamDesign Optimization or user-supplied suggestions.
