AVL CAMEO ™– The key for eficient powertrain calibration 3 2 F o c u s CAMEO has evolved into a wellestablished, industrial solution, that supports clients in their daily work. This shows that the courageous decision of AVL, who started to work intensively on the subject of calibration in the 1990s, has proved itself today to be sustainable and correct. Whoever wants to achieve extremely good calibration results, needs extremely fast and reliable tools – tools such as AVL CAMEO. (www.avl.com/cameo). < Calibration has long since established itself as a decisive factor in the field of modern powertrain engineering. The extreme complexity of the calibration task, due to the range of powertrain variants or legal requirements, can no longer be managed by conventional means. With CAMEO, AVL avails itself of the world-leading software that universally reflects the complete powertrain calibration process and thus provides considerable support for efficient calibration. Apart from the normal online calibration, that is the automated execution of test procedures directly on a test bed, the calibration process steps in the office environment are becoming increasingly important. This is where CAMEO Office, as a part of the CAMEO toolchain, comes into its own. The software guides the user step-by-step to his required results. The calibration effort is minimized thanks to the use of model generation on the basis of DoE methods (Design of Experiments), model optimization and rapid calculation of control tables and maps, leading to reliable results. Calibration engineers no longer have to rely only on their instincts, but obtain certainty due to statistically sound data. The effort of calibration can be reduced by up to 80 percent compared to conventional methods. Calibration targets such as fuel consumption while remaining within legislative emissions limits can be reliably reached for all operating states of the vehicle. Thanks to continuous further development and extension of the tools – in conjunction with notable automotive manufacturing clients – The world leader in testbed systems also leads the pack in model-based calibration in the office.
