Powerplant & Engine Compartment Thermal Modeling

Course Duration: 2 Days
Course Schedule: -
Cost: $2000

Who Should Attend

Thermal analysts, engineers and designers currently using CFD software, who want to take their underhood/engine compartment simulations to the next level.

 

Prerequisites

Student should have prior experience with a CFD tool.

 

Course Description

Your instructor will guide you through the fundamental approach and best-practices in applying CFD for thermal simulations in engine compartment and underhood environments. This will help increase your knowledge in the simulation approach for full 3D vehicle thermal simulations. During this course, you should expect to learn and understand:

• How to significantly reduce simulation turn-around time using CD-adapco?s unique "fast-track" approach for the complete thermal simulation process from CAD to solution.
  
• JAVA based macro set-up for automation for DFSS and "what-if" type projects
  
• Best practices in generating underhood/engine compartment models including
  
• Critical component temperature predictions (engine mounts, rubber hosing temperatures)
  
• Getting the most out of your thermal models so that final climate wind-tunnel testing is more productive and cost effective.
