Piston and piston ring dynamics simulation software AVL

The daily work of engine development for both design specialist and test bed engineers requires an efficient simulation tool for piston movement analysis. For determining characteristics of mono and articulated pistons, EXCITE Piston&Rings offers fast execution times and verified results.

Stricter emission standards have caused the reduction of lube oil consumption to become a major task in the development of modern engines. Because the sealing effect of piston rings in reciprocating engines has a major impact on blow-by and lube oil consumption, an accurate calculation of piston ring dynamics is required for successful cylinder kit design. A number of programs enable trend calculations of piston ring dynamics and blow-by. With AVL EXCITE Piston&Rings, absolute values for inter-ring pressures, ring movement and blow-by, as well as reliable trends for lube oil consumption, proven in several projects, can be achieved.
