Ricardo WAVE 2019 for PC Windows

Description

Overview of Ricardo WAVE 2019 Benefits

WAVE simulation software solves the 1D form of the Navier-Stokes equations governing the transfer of mass, momentum and energy for compressible gas flows, and includes sub-models for combustion and emissions.

Available to download now, the latest suite of products provides essential simulation and analysis tools for the complete vehicle development process. This includes 1D and 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with real-time functionality, Structural Mechanics tools for engine and component design and optimisation and Complex Systems modelling and analysis of systems and interacting sub-systems including electric, hybrid and conventional powertrains.

Overview of Ricardo WAVE 2019 Features

• Improved usability with scale-view schematics of flow path and wall structures
• Next-generation exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) knock model to map performance limits of SI engines
• The new VECTIS solvers support co-simulation with third party tools
• The Intel MPI has been upgraded to deliver robust parallel simulations
• The material editor has been enhanced to offer properties for common gases and liquids
• The new smart PHEV controller and powertrain auxiliaries enable quick and easy out-of-the box modelling of P0-P5 parallel hybrid architectures
• Modelling support for N-D interpolation enabling the user to model multidimensional behaviours
• Users can now launch IGNITE directly from WAVE delivering an improved co-simulation experience
• Option to time-out unsuccessful simulations
• Improved user experience to generate contour plots of engine and motor efficiency maps
• A range of new examples now included with the installation
• Transmission errors calculated in the new TCA can be exported to VALDYN to be used during the transmission dynamic analysis.
• Users can now analyse gear body deflection for faster and more accurate results. Calculate mesh misalignment with FE integration to convert standard results into skew and slope.
• SABR offers enhanced visualisation of speed and torque binning using combined load cases. This helps users manage complex real road data.
