Efficient engine development with simulation models

  • Cuts costs: less time needed on the test stand due to the application of models
  • Reduces development time: early validation of engine and powertrain management functions
  • Controls complexity: simulation gives an insight into parameters that are not easy to measure
  • Improves safety: reproducible results through the use of dependable models

Focused competence for engine and powertrain dynamics

We offer models, software, and the corresponding know-how for the (real-time) simulation of internal combustion engines and powertrain dynamics. Furthermore, our experts can support you with the design and operation of HIL systems for all common platforms. You will benefit from a tailor-made solution and comprehensive support for efficient simulation.

Competence in practice

Application examples of our simulation software and engineering services:

  • Development, testing, and application of engine and powertrain management.
  • Our models for all common engine variants and powertrain concepts provide you with optimum support – from function development and MIL/SIL/HIL tests right through to the pre-application of the parameters on the simulator.
  • Analysis of complex networked systems
  • Consideration of thermodynamic processes and the real-time calculation of thermodynamic cycles
  • Evaluation and optimization of ride comfort and vehicle response.

Competence toolkit

Our wide range of methods, tools and experience ensures that we can provide the optimum solution for your requirements:

  • The open simulation framework DYNA4 contains engine process simulation (DYNA4 Engine Themos) as well as powertrain configuration (DYNA4 Advanced Powertrain).
  • DYNA4 adaptations: we integrate your model components and working processes into an efficient overall solution
  • HIL engineering: we support you with the development of high-performance HIL environments. Our simulation solutions are platform-independent and run on all common real-time platforms with consistent handling.
  • Expert consultation for the design and integration of a simulation environment that is ideally suited to your development process.
  • Development of tailor-made models according to your requirements, e.g. in Matlab/Simulink, Dymola, C or C++.
