The ever increasing number of design parameters of traditional and ‘alternative’ powertrain systems means that early concept analysis becomes increasingly important. Powertrain thermodynamic analysis using 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools is one such discipline.
Through years of development and advancements, AVL’s 3D CFD software FIRE™ fulfills these demands. FIRE is used every day by hundreds of powertrain engineers to accurately predict results in a flexible, robust and fast way. FIRE customers make design decisions earlier, and with greater confidence.
AVL FIRE™ is the leading simulation program in the field of combustion engine analysis and specialises in accurate prediction of engine gas exchange, mixture formation and combustion, as well as emissions and the exhaust gas aftertreatment.
FIRE is specifically tailored to meet the requirements of automotive research and development engineers
FIRE’s flexibility allows users to adjust modeling complexity, and to integrate the software into their CAx framework
FIRE is a proven tool, used daily in AVL’s engine development process and by hundreds of customers worldwide
FIRE is easy to use thanks to automated pre-/post-processing, integrated application specific workflows and pre-defined solution control files
