1D Simulation Program „HCS“

HERON Technik GmbH has developed a simple and easy-to-use 1D Engine simulation program for all kind of TC engines. As the gasdynamic pressure waves have very minor impact the gas exchange process is calculated according to the so-called “filling & emptying method”. This method saves computation time and without losing calculation accuracy. The current program can be applied for DIESEL engines. A GAS engine version is currently under development.

ADVANTAGES:

·        No engine modelling is required - HERON delivers the costumer tailored engine arrangements.

·        No additional pre- and postprocessor required - HCS is imbedded into EXCEL™.

·        Self-explaining input data sheet - no specific training is required.

·        The user can extend the post-processing and data comparison to his need.

·        HERON support included - easy file & data exchange via email.

Vehicle Acceleration  Program “WGB”

To quantify WOT power & torque curves a vehicle acceleration program has been developed. The core program is a well-proven FORTRAN code, the post-processing is done in EXCEL™.

Under consideration of all important parameters, as

·        Gear ratios and efficiencies, aero-drag and downforce values as f(km/h),

·        Car weight, C.o.G., base distance, tyre size and friction coefficients,

·        Gear shift strategy & duration, slope angle, ambient correction, wind speed.....

the vehicle acceleration is calculated either in part load or WOT engine conditions for a pre-defined straight-line distance.
