FAST is a predictive friction analysis tool for rapidly estimating mechanical friction in internal combustion engines. It provides fast, practical friction predictions from a limited set of input data, using empirical and semi-empirical calculations validated against motored teardown test data.

FAST helps engineering teams understand friction losses early in development without needing to build higher-fidelity models for every study. It can be used stand alone, where the solver reports a detailed breakdown of total engine friction, or coupled with WAVE to predict FMEP in engine performance simulations.

Use FAST to predict mechanical friction earlier, understand engine loss contributors faster and make better-informed decisions before committing to hardware or detailed CAE.
