WAVE - thermal analysis

WAVE includes a simplified 2D structural conduction model for the engine structure (head, cylinder liner, piston and valves) and manifolds. This provides improved performance prediction with accurate engine and exhaust system heat extraction. In addition, exhaust system warm-up transient analysis can be performed.

Key features

• A structural conduction model which enables wall temperatures with external radiation and convection to be calculated
• Single or multi-layered wall structure
• Valve heat transfer
• Cycle-averaged WAVE results can be used as boundary conditions for full 3D finite element analysis (FEA) analysis
• Engine warm up
