Powertrain Simulation Tools and Application to the Development of a SI Engine Concept Car

摘要

The powertrain simulation tools are nowadays an efficient support to optimize cost and duration of the whole engine technological developments. They can deliver optimized simulator versions for various targets such as system understanding, design investigation, non-measurable value access or virtual bench use for control and calibration. Under the condition of an accurate modelling and simulation know-how to take into account the simulator using constraints, the simulation can become an undisputable support for powertrain design as the test bed already is.
