Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Powertrain
The first commercial IC engine in the market was in 1872. From that point till today and probably for a few more decades to come, IC engine is the most reliable technology for the mobility & power generations and will remain so.
Designers need to consider aspects of thermodynamics, structural mechanics NVH, fluid behaviour, kinematics and what not while developing an ICE powertrain. This makes it one of the most complicated systems to be engineered. In the recent years, fuel efficiency, emissions, light weight requirements have added further challenges.
At ESPL, we are supporting our customers in the Internal Combustion Engine Powertrain system simulations practically from the day one. Over the years, we have developed very good expertise in multi-physics engineering solutions while simulating almost all Physics associated with ICE Powertrain.
