Exhaust Aftertreatment Modeling Simulation

GT-xCHEM simulation software includes a complete exhaust aftertreatment (AT) and chemical kinetics library for modeling catalysts and filters

Exhaust Aftertreatment ModelingCOMPLETE FLEXIBLITY

GT-xCHEM enables the user to model any AT device in isolation or within an integrated system, while providing the user the complete flexibility to modify and impose the participating kinetic reaction mechanisms.

The design of this library is consistent with our goal to provide a single tool for simulation of all aspects of engine and vehicle systems. This library allows modeling the exhaust aftertreatment system together with vehicle, engine, thermal management, and control systems, making this tool uniquely suitable for collaborative development.

Exhaust Aftertreatment ModelingAPPLICATION HIGHLIGHTS
