What Are the Best Software Tools for Engine Simulation?

AI Thread Summary
GT Power is recognized as the industry standard for simulating internal combustion engines, widely used across various sectors including motorsport. For simulating intake manifold flow, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software is recommended. Many large engine manufacturers have developed proprietary simulation codes tailored to their specific needs. Additionally, resources like free online calculators for energy conversion and relevant literature, such as Gordon P. Blair's book on four-stroke engine design, are suggested for further exploration. Overall, selecting the right software depends on the specific simulation requirements and engine type.

This might not be the best place to put this post but still i would like to know about some good softwares which are used to:
1.Simulate the flow in intake manifold.
2.Simulate the engine performance.

What kind of engine?
 
GT Power is widely accepted to be the industry standard for internal combustion simulation (throughout the industrial, commercial, passenger and motorsport circles), but many large engine manufacturers have developed their own code.

Intake manifold flow may be better simulated using some CFD code.

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
