Engine CalculationEfficient Calculation Services for Cost & Time ReductionCustomer RequirementsThe costs per hour of testing a medium speed engine are very high. Anything that can reduce this time by only a few hours must be an investment to consider.
Engine builders have to reduce their time to market, eliminate costs caused by trial & error and get better and more exact results.
Engine testing then becomes proof testing rather than development testing. Designers need confidence that it is right first time. One step in this direction
is to reduce testing by performing calculations up-front (frontloading).

AVL ApproachAVL has an integrated simulation approach. With modern software and computing power it is no longer necessary or acceptable to model single engine parts. Each part affects others. AVL's approach is to model the entire engine during the design stage and then concentrate on those areas of concern.
Prediction of temperatures, pressures, stresses, vibration and displacements etc. in order to:
- Optimise engine performance
- Reduce emissions
- Prevent impact loads in valve trains
- Improve fuel consumption
- Minimise weight and cost
- Avoid thermal cracking
- Avoid corrosive wear
- Prevent fretting
- Reduce vibration
- Optimise bearing performance
