Development of 'PT-ECS': CFD analysis system for design engineers

摘要

With the acceleration of the reduction in lead-time for engine development process and the improvement in quality, the needs for practical use of CFD are in the increase as a tool indispensable to the prediction of engine performance. However, there is general recognition that CFD is the tool for specialists, because it requires high expertise for highly effective use. For the break-through of the actual situation, we have developed "PT-ECS"; that is, a peripheral system for STAR-CD which is loaded with know-how for Powertrain analysis. With this system, everyone can easily conduct a high quality analysis on their PC. This paper describes the contents of the system and the effects of an application.
