Software OverviewWHAT IS GT-POWER?

GT-POWER is the industry standard engine performance simulation, used by all major engine manufacturers and vehicle OEMs. GT-POWER is used to predict engine performance quantities such as power, torque, airflow, volumetric efficiency, fuel consumption, turbocharger performance and matching, and pumping losses, to name just a few.

GT-POWER Engine SimulationUNLOCK ENGINE VIRTUAL ENGINE PREDICTION

Beyond basic performance predictions, GT-POWER includes physical models for extending the predictions to include cylinder emissions, intake and exhaust system acoustic characteristics (level and quality), in-cylinder and pipe/manifold structure temperature, measured cylinder pressure analysis, and control system modeling.

Expand Physics ResolutionBEYOND ENGINE CYCLE SIMULATION

GT-POWER is licensed as an all-inclusive package containing many advanced modeling features not found in other engine simulations. A full FE solver for in-cylinder temperature and heat flux distribution, as well as complete, fully flexible, detailed in-cylinder chemical kinetics solvers are just two of the many advanced modeling capabilities included with GT-POWER at no extra cost.

Virtual Calibration

Due to the realistic physics in GT-POWER, users can use the software within a traditional Testing Calibration process to enhance and augment the procedure. This includes the creation of calibration maps, controller strategies, and operation exploration.

Turbocharger Analysis

GT-POWER allows users to study turbocharger performance at various ambient conditions (altitude, temperature, etc.) and understand the full system level impact on the engine. This is due to our industry leading turbine and compressor templates as well as our 1-D Navier-Stokes Solution.

Knock Sensitivity Analysis

With GT-POWER’s industry leading combustion models, users can study an engine’s sensitivity to knock and how to mitigate that through adjusting timing, fuel types, etc. This allows engineering firms to decrease the risk of damage to expensive prototype engines during development.

Acoustic Analysis

In GT-POWER a user is able to perform acoustic analysis of their engine. Users can perform Transmission Loss, Drive-by Noise, and even generate a sound file of how the engine might sound.
