Improve your cooling system design and study its interactions with connected subsystems and the underhood environment. With Simcenter Amesim, you can model engine warmup and associated key criteria (fuel consumption, cabin heating) while taking into account all thermal interactions with the different subsystems in a single environment. You will then be able to rapidly study the influence of topological modifications or alternative components (split cooling, materials changes or integration of an electric pump).

Enhance the injector geometry to minimize the activation energy and perform the proper needle lift. Simcenter Amesim helps you optimize the pump geometry and the cam profile to reduce hydraulic losses, pressure oscillations, noise and vibrations. You can improve the stability of hydraulic valves and analyze the effect of the injector body deformation. By representing the dynamics of electromechanical actuators, you will be able to evaluate component performance with different types of actuating technologies.

Design lubrication systems by simulating the integration of hydraulics components (pumps, oil network and bearings) with mechanical systems (a crankshaft or a camshaft), in order to compute flow rates and energy loss distribution. Simcenter Amesim helps you analyze pressure dynamics using detailed subsystem models (variable displacement pumps or a cam phaser), to accurately control your system. You can also take into account the thermal aspects relative to the heat release of oil cooling and bearings.

Optimize the performance of your valvetrain and cranktrain by accurately simulating their dynamic behavior. Simcenter Amesim enables precise computation of the engine subsystem losses (mechanical, thermal, hydraulic) to evaluate their impact on the global engine efficiency, estimate fuel consumption and pollutant emission levels, and to quickly find the best subsystem design with maximum engine efficiency on real driving environment cycles.
