/ 181 AVL EXCITE POWER UNIT is the industry’s leading tool for calculating the dynamics, strength and acoustics of combustion engines, transmissions and powertrains. It is also used for the detailed analysis of local hydrodynamic effects in oil-lubricated contacts (slider bearings, piston-liner contacts). AVL EXCITE DESIGNER uses analytical methods in order to enable the fast and realistic dimensioning of crankshafts and powertrains at an early stage in the development process. AVL EXCITE TIMING DRIVE ensures reliable results for all kinds of valve trains and timing drives. It covers the entire work-flow, from the kinematic designing of cam profiles and the dynamic behavior of individual components, to the entire timing drives driven by gears, chains or belts. AVL EXCITE PISTON & RINGS is an efficient tool for sizing piston assemblies. The piston ring module can be used to calculate absolute values for inter-ring pressures, piston ring movements and blow-by as well as the reliable trend prediction of lube oil consumption. AVL EXCITE ACOUSTICS is a new tool for calculating the noise radiation of vibrating structures such as power units. Using a unique automated procedure to generate the acoustic mesh within minutes, starting from the unmodified structural FE mesh and a wave-based technique solver, it enables the calculation of airborne noise results with significant short analysis lead time. AVL EXCITE STRENGTHS • Robust and optimized solver for short calculation times • Parameter-based simulation models – easy variation of design parameters AVL EXCITE – dynamics, durability and NVH of engines and powertrains • Hybrid modeling approach (2D workspace with a 3D view capability) for easy and fast model generation • Customizable GUI – user definable for template definition • Integrated standard workflows for crankshaft dynamics and NVH analysis, extendable by user defined workflows • Automated application oriented and user extendable 2D post-processing (standard reports) • Design explorer – integrated tool for DoE and optimization • Interfaces to third-party CAE software (FE, optimization) and application programming interface for smooth integration into the existing CAE environment CUSTOMER BENEFITS • One simulation environment for all phases of the engine development process and for all structural dynamics related analysis tasks • Based on AVL’s 60+ years of leadership in engine and powertrain engineering consultancy • Dedicated user support and guidance teams around the world with AVL engineers who are highly experienced in engine analysis AVL TOOLS FOR STRENGTH, DURABILITY AND NVH SIMULATIONS
