DELIVERING VALUE THROUGH USABILITY, TECHNOLOGY, & PRODUCTIVITY
12th North American User Conference
MASTERCLASS AGENDA

Please note that both classes are being held at our Detroit Technical Center.
The Turbocharging Masterclass spans two days and costs $700.
The WAVE 8.0 class spans one day and costs $300.

1. New WAVE 8.0 Features
Part 1:  Overview of New Features (1/3 day)
 
  • New WaveBuild features
  • New WavePost features
  • New WaveMesher features
  • New WNOISE features
  • New WaveBuild3D features
  • Part 2:  Controls System Modeling (1/3 day)
     
  • New Controls Elements
  • Building a Controls Network
  • Interacting with the Controls System
  • Post-processing results from the Controls System
  • Part 3:  Integrated 1D/3D Co-Simulation (1/3 day)
     
  • Building a 3D Mesh
  • Setting up 3-Phase coupling in one case
  • Using the integrated solver
  • Optional use of an external solver
  •    
    The course will focus on introducing the new features of the WAVE 8.0 release as well as contain some simple exercises on how to use the most exciting new capabilities. This class will prepare you for the upcoming release, to minimize the time required to familiarize yourself with the new product and maximize your productivity at the time of release!
       
    2. Turbocharger Masterclass
    Part 1: Modeling Turbocharged Engines Using WAVE (1 day)
     
  • Modeling of T/C's
  • Map fitting and extrapolation
  • Intercooling methods - Modeling Charge Coolers in WAVE
  • Convergence
  • Transients
  • Part 2: Control of a Wastegate to Meet Desired Boost Pressure (exercise) (1/2 day)
    Part 3: Other Potential Turbocharging Topics (1/2 day)
     
  • Matching T/C's to engines
  • Advanced turbocharging concepts (two-stage, turbo compounding, e-boost)
  • Calibrating more than one controller (WG,EGR)
  • Other topics proposed by participants
  •    
    The course will focus on the simulation of turbocharged IC engines using WAVE. It is aimed at engineers already familiar with the basic use of the WAVE software to simulate engines, who want to learn how WAVE models turbochargers and learn techniques how to improve speed and accuracy of models. The class will include interactive work in WAVE using a model provided by Ricardo.
