OPTIMUM Power Technology Announces Virtual 4-Stroke Link to FLUENT

VIRTUAL 4-STROKE™ and VIRTUAL 2-STROKE™, advanced engine cycle simulation software from OPTIMUM Power Technology, offer fast and accurate simulation of a complete internal combustion engine in a user-friendly environment. Using 1D unsteady gas dynamic solutions, engine simulations are completed in seconds. These products now include a powerful co-simulation interface with FLUENT for situations such as complex plenum and pipe geometries where a full 3D solution may be preferred.

FLUENT models can be easily linked to a 1D model via a custom-built library, providing true co-simulation with data integrity on a time-step basis. The full functionality of both products is available to the user. VIRTUAL 4-STROKE™ and VIRTUAL 2-STROKE™ have the ability to predict performance, emissions and noise, as well as detailed time-step animation of all thermodynamic and gas dynamic processes throughout the engine. Full non-isentropic solutions at all boundaries ensure accurate simulation of all 1D/3D-coupled models.
