design analysis of engines. The most unique feature of this highly advanced tool is that it is contained in a single application - a new paradigm in engine sim- ulations. There are six components in GT-SUITE with the following main capabilities: Advanced Features "Virtual Engine/Powertrain/Vehicle" in a single executable The only tool that can take a project from initial concept studies to integrated analysis of the complete system Users can choose from alternative physical models, with different levels of complexity, allowing rapid simulations with less detail, while providing more detail when needed Advanced built-in functions are provided at no extra cost (sophisticated optimizers, control library, job distribution serv- er, user-defined compound templates, etc.) Multi-case studies are possible in a single run, with parametric substitution of variables Users can easily incorporate their own models Model files are stored in open XML format Simulation output is stored in MySQL commercial database Table output comes in HTML and PDF formats GT-SUITE All six components of GT-SUITE are based on a common set of multi-physics libraries, and thus have a large degree of commonality among them. There is a single shared user interface, from which the user performs all pre- and post- processing, and these functions are identical for all six GT- SUITE components -- no need to learn multiple tools.

It is an industry trend that is gaining in importance. 2 Until now, analysts have been focusing on narrow prob- lem areas, divided/isolated by: Technical areas (e.g. combustion vs. acoustics) Departmental boundaries Limitations of available software and hardware The resulting neglect of interactions limits the usefulness of the analysis results, and at the same time it restricts communications across teams and departments. The GT-SUITE approach: a single comprehensive code addressing most of the needs covered today by separate codes, with the following benefits: Interactions between different parts of the system can be as detailed as needed Capabilities are automatically synchronized in a single version, launched from a single graphical interface All teams use the same tool, facilitating their cooperation (they speak "the same language") Data sharing is streamlined (and error-free) Engineers share a "virtual engine/vehicle" model This capability is key for studies of transients Lower cost Detailed engine model connected by a torque converter to a driveline of a vehicle. Combines GT- POWER + GT-DRIVE. This model allows coupled simulation of the entire system, for studies of vehicle acceleration capabilities, general transient operation and control system development. Coupled solution of engine per- formance and cranktrain dynamics, including block mounts. Combines GT-POWER + GT-CRANK. This model allows representation of the effects of combustion variability on block vibration. The variability produces cylinder pressure variation (top left), which causes irregular piston side forces (center left), leading to block vibration (bottom left). The vibrations can be visualized by spectral analysis (bottom center). INTEGRATION Torsional and multi-body model of valvetrain and of cranktrain. Combines GT-VTRAIN + GT-CRANK. Seamless integration permits analysis of multiple mechanical and hydromechanical subsystems and of interactions between them. Screen monitors shown here track various motions during simulation: (from left) block vibrations, crank drive-end speed, camshaft angle error and selected valve lifts. Integration of engine performance sim- ulation with cooling system analysis and structure temperature analysis. Combines GT-POWER + GT-COOL. Engine performance simulation provides the gas-side boundary conditions for calculation of the structure temperatures, which in turn serve as the boundary conditions for the cooling system simulation. This model allows a very realistic simula- tion of engine warm-up. Modeling of injection system coupled with simulation of engine performance, combustion and emissions. Combines GT-POWER + GT-FUEL, and adds to them a 3-D CFD code KIVA 3-V. This combined model allows the analysis of the interactions between the injection system and diesel engine combustion, which is needed for optimum injector and nozzle selection. KIVA is used to analyze the interaction of the fuel jets produced by the injection system with the combustion chamber shape. Input all KIVA data through GT-ISE - - the Next Frontier in CAE
