Friction and Tribology Simulation
GT-SUITE assesses the impact of operating conditions and design parameters on friction and seek low friction designs

This functionality uses the validated fundamental tribological elements of GT-SUITE, including oil film hydrodynamics and EHD contact models, a statistical asperity contact model, and also on the ability to take temperature, pressure and shear rate dependence of lubricant viscosity, as well as geometrical details, into account.
Application of these elements enable GT-SUITE to model, at each friction interface, the share of load carried hydrodynamically vs. by contact, which is essential to accurate prediction of friction.
In addition to friction, models predict secondary motions (orbits, film thicknesses), oil flow, wear load, contact deformations, Hertz stress and temperature rise. Tribological elements are used directly, inside GT-SUITE MBD models of moving parts of engines, pumps etc. which provide the speeds and load at friction interfaces.
