This course is intended for those interested in developing vehicle models for fuel economy studies as well as dynamic performance tests.  The following topics will be covered in this course:

Introductory Concepts of GT-SUITE :

  • 1-D Mechanical Simulation
  • Model Setup- initialization, parameter sweeps, Optimization/Design of Experiments
  • Post-processing (GT-POST)
  • Subassemblies: internal, external, encryption of subassemblies

The following vehicle modeling topics will be included:

  • Mapped Engine Model
  • Transmissions (Automatic, Manual, CVT, Other)
  • Tire Modeling
  • Vehicle
  • Acceleration Studies (0-100 kph, ¼ mile, etc.)
  • Driver Controls (for Automatic or Manual Transmissions)
  • Driving Cycle Analysis (with Model Based Targeting Controller)
  • Alternative Analysis Modes (Static calculations)

If time permits, extra and more specialized topics may be covered.  The topics will selected by the participants.  Some possible topics are:  Detailed Transmission Modeling, Drivetrain Torsional Analysis and Driveability, Advanced Control Strategies, Integrated Simulations (e.g drivetrain + Fast Running detailed engine Model, drivetrain +cranktrain), user-defined

Note:  This course may be offered as a future open registration event OR requested as a custom training at a GTI office location or your location.
