ASM Combustion Engines
Real-Time-Capable Simulation Models for Combustion Engines
The ASM engine models are ideal for developing and testing engine and exhaust gas aftertreatment ECUs. They simulate a combustion engine, including all the necessary components, as a controlled system for the ECUs. There are models for diesel and gasoline engines with different injection systems and exhaust gas aftertreatment systems. The real-time simulations can be performed with mean-value models or with models of physical precision.

Modeling the future
To meet new requirements for the exhaust behavior of combustion engines, the relevant development and test environments have to be continuously developed as well. For new engine generations, Weichai therefore uses dSPACE Automotive Simulation Models and dSPACE SYNECT.

A Moving Variety
For commercial vehicles, diversity is a standard. Scania has a nearly endless selection of vehicle types and modular vehicle configurations. And the generic electronic control unit (ECU) system has just as many variants. In a new test lab, Scania shows how this system can be validated with reliability. -
Top Performer
One thing is for certain: If you start a large high-performance gas engine with a suitable generator, you are the best-motorized employee on site – at an electric power of up to 4,500 kW. Such powerful machines are used primarily for the stationary generation of energy and heat. Caterpillar Energy Solutions developed an entirely new control to ensure that future energy plants remain effi cient, dynamic, and maintenance-friendly.

Virtual Winter Tests
No modern vehicle ever reaches the market without first undergoing exhaustive tests. And test vehicles alone are no longer enough to test the complex electronic control units. This job is performed by simulation models, which shift ECU development into the virtual reality of a virtual vehicle. Dr. Hagen Haupt, head of dSPACE's Modeling Group, explains how the dSPACE simulation models are meeting this challenge.

Models for developing engine ECUs.
Using mean value models to simulate combustion engines in real time and with rotation-angle-dependent cylinder-wise calculation of state variables
The tool is suitable to be used in safety-related development projects according to ISO 26262:2018 for any automotive safety integrity level (ASIL).
Mean Value Models
Benefit
Mean value models have excellent real-time behavior. They are accurate enough to give plausible signals to conventional engine controls, which makes it possible to check the ECUs’ functions and diagnostic capabilities.
In-Cylinder Models
In-cylinder models simulate the state variables of the combustion engine consistently at each time instance and synchronously to the crank angle. On real-time computers, they help calculate the thermodynamic processes in the cylinder and the gas mass flow through the intake and exhaust valves synchronously to the crankshaft rotation.
Benefit
The quality that simulations reach with in-cylinder models is rather high. In-cylinder models provide crank-angle-synchronous representations of the effects of the combustion and gas exchange process for each cylinder. The models are also required for ECUs that evaluate the cylinder pressure and control each intake and exhaust valve individually in timing and lift.
