/ 183 collected in our powertrain engineering division. While our customers as well as our own consulting and service business can directly profit from this know how, our software development team gains invaluable insight into current and future requirements. 3. CLOSE LINK TO TESTING The virtual inspection of engine-related phenomena with AVL FIRE® allows shorter development times and cost reductions. New techniques – such as coupling with optimization tools – allow for the investigation of more design variations. The results are a more robust prototype on the testbed, shorter test periods, lower costs, higher product maturity and quality. AVL FIRE® STRENGTHS • AVL FIRE® is a full scale 3D CFD Solution with an embedded chemistry solver, complemented by pre- and post-processing tools, all embedded in an intuitive graphical user interface; there is no need to purchase third-party tools, even for the most complex tasks • AVL FIRE® is based on tested state-of-the-art solver technology capable of handling general polyhedral computational elements and offering a robust platform for continuous enhancement • AVL FIRE® offers automated meshing technology for arbitrarily complex geometries including multiple moving parts; this helps to drastically reduce setup times for complex models • AVL FIRE® offers a consistent set of physical and chemical models to cover various types of fluid flow simulation tasks – in particular those related to internal combustion engines – at different stages in the development process • AVL FIRE® development effort is complemented by AVL’s internal R&D activities as well as by extensive industrial and academic partnerships • AVL FIRE® provides an open code structure enabling researchers to extend the software’s capabilities to meet specific • AVL FIRE® offers unique models and capabilities to simulate flow and chemistry in exhaust gas aftertreatment no full stop.
