Basic Information

To meet consumer demands, automotive engineers require development tools which provide accurate representation of complex systems in the virtual world. 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 FIRETM 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 FIRETM 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.
High Fidelity System Simulation

The overall environment and individual components of FIRE enable application to any phase of the development process. The broad range of available models allows users to properly balance simulation effort and desired precision.
