Combustion Engine Mechanism Analyses Using SimulationX

Abstract

When we apply more efficient combustion profile using advanced mechanisms to ICEs, vehicles with ICEs can exceed BEVs from the view of total environmental performance. This paper illustrates SimulationX, a Modelica simulation tool, can be a tool for the developments of advanced mechanical systems such as new valve trains and cranking systems. This paper also shows a case of FMI co-simulation of a cam phaser between the tool and another hydraulic simulation tool which is used to model a conventional hydraulic system of an existing ICE.
