Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, September 23, 2002 - OPTIMUM Power Technology has developed a link between Virtual Engines and LMS DADS. A Virtual Engines 1D gas dynamic model can now be linked to a mechanically dynamic DADS valve train model. Boundary conditions for each simulation can be exchanged. DADS can use the pressure time history from the engine simulation and Virtual Engines can use the predicted valve and piston motion from DADS. Running at the same time, exchanging data, the overall results can be much more accurate using both models simultaneously. Virtual Engines 1-D simulation is a fast, accurate tool for engine design. Linking to other analysis codes such as LMS DADS or FLuent can add a whole new dimension to the level of understanding. With the link to LMS DADS, valve bounce or lift off can be more accurately calculated and the impact on engine performance assessed.
