DoEOPTIMIZER is the first optimization Excel Plug-in that interfaces with the ANSYS Workbench WBExcel system. Whether working in native Excel or working with ANSYS CFD models, the DoEOPTIMIZER harnesses patented optimization algorithms to provide rigorous and robust Design of Experiments optimization. Users unfamiliar with DoE concepts can use DoEOPTIMIZER with ease due to its intuitive user interface. See our Resource Room for an example of how you can set up your experiment and optimize your results - all within the Excel environment.


Automated Design is the world's first Expert System for engine simulation and design. This revolutionary software product promises to solve engine design problems several orders of magnitude faster than is currently possible, whilst substantially improving the return on investment of simulation software. The Expert System captures engineering expertise within the virtual environment, allowing the knowledge and expertise gained from each engine design problem to be reapplied. The result is a greatly accelerated and repeatable design process. The Automated Design Expert System has the ability to rigorously assess the design space and select the engine design solutions that best satisfy the engineering objective using advanced Design of Experiments (DOE) techniques. This is supported by powerful parallel-processing capabilities that allow the simulation workload to be distributed across a large number of Windows PCs on any local area network.


Virtual Engines™ is the new "benchmark" engine performance simulation design system. After many years of research, development and rigorous validation by Queen's University Belfast and OPTIMUM, the company introduced Virtual 2-Stroke® and Virtual 4-Stroke®. Virtual Engines employs far more accurate unsteady gas dynamic and thermodynamic flow models and boundary conditions to produce superior simulation accuracy the first time, with little or no model calibration. The products incorporate intuitive, easy-to-use graphical interfaces and powerful analysis capabilities into a single design system suitable for modeling all spark-ignition and compression-ignition engines whether they are naturally aspirated, turbocharger or supercharger. The Virtual Engines Automated Design Optimizer (patent pending) running on the OPTIMUM Network Supercomputer will deliver better designs in a fraction of the time of other systems.

GP Control® is a flexible, comprehensive, fully programmable engine management system for high-performance motorcycles and recreational vehicles. The system supports 4-stroke and 2-stroke engines with from 1 to 4 cylinders. GP Control manages ignition, fuel injection, electronic power valves, power jets, quick shifting, idle air control valves, cooling fans and dash clusters. The system features three map sets that the rider can switch between at will. In addition, OPTIMUM has patents pending on its unique real-time Rider Trim facility, which enables the rider to trim predefined areas of the currently active map and perform instantaneous comparisons between the base and trimmed maps. GP Control can be calibrated with a conventional PC or with a Pocket/PC and provides users with the ability to download new maps via the worldwide web. Our advanced software - available on cost-effective hardware platforms - provides practical and proven tools that service all engine management needs - from OEM to professional racing to the enthusiast. Cannondale, manufacturer of the world's first and only off road fuel injected motorcycles and ATVs, will be installing GP Control fuel-injection systems on their complete 2002 product.


ICEView/PTrAn provides a powerful electronic system for data acquisition and analysis in one economical package. ICEView takes advantage of low cost PC hardware and advanced electronics to produce a unique high-speed data acquisition system capable of sampling up to 1.25 MHz in either time-based or angle-based mode. The system provides automotive engineers with significant savings in both cost and time over other available systems due to its ease of use and utilization of National Instruments hardware. PTrAn available as part of the ICEView/PTrAn system, or as an individual software package, is the world's first high-quality, yet economical, combustion analysis software. In a user-friendly environment it combines industry-standard computations with exceptional graphical capabilities, allowing engineers to use our technology to the OPTIMUM, reducing test, analysis and development costs.
