/ 207 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 requirements • AVL FIRE® offers unique models and capabilities to simulate flow and chemistry in exhaust gas aftertreatment CUSTOMER BENEFITS • AVL FIRE® is specifically tailored to meet the requirements of automotive research and development engineers • AVL FIRE® is flexible to allow users to adjust modeling complexity and integrate the software into their CAx framework • AVL FIRE® is a tested tool, used daily in AVL’s engine development process and by hundreds of customers worldwide • AVL FIRE® is easy to use thanks to automated pre- and post-processing, integrated application-specific workflows and pre-defined solution control files • AVL FIRE® provides reliable and accurate simulation results. Its models are extensively validated • AVL FIRE® computational models are being continuously developed and enhanced via in-house research activities and partnerships with leading technology centers world-wide • Customer support is provided by engineers who know powertrains and powertrain development
