What is GT-SUITE?

GT-SUITE provides the ability to execute Integrated Simulations - the next frontier in CAE applications and an industry trend that is gaining in importance.  Traditionally,  analysts have been focusing on narrow problem areas, divided/isolated  by:

• Technical areas (e.g. combustion vs. acoustics)
• Departmental boundaries
• Limitations of available software and hardware
• The resulting neglect of interactions limits the usefulness of the analysis results, and at the  same time it restricts communications across teams and departments.

The GT-SUITE approach: a single comprehensive code addressing most of the needs covered today by separate codes, with the following benefits:

• Interactions between different system parts can be made as detailed as needed
• Capabilities are always automatically synchronized (single version)
• All teams use the same tool, facilitating their cooperation ("same language")
• Data sharing is streamlined (and error-free)
• Engineers share a "virtual engine/vehicle" model
• This capability is key for studies of transients
• GT-SUITE offers all this at a SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER COST than other solutions

GT-SUITE Application Areas and Tools

GT-SUITE is a versatile multiphysics platform for constructing models of general systems based on the following underlying libraries:

• Flow library (1D and quasi-3D)
• Acoustics library (both non-linear and linear)
• Thermal Library (lumped and FEA)
• Mechanical library (kinematics, multi-body dynamics, freq.domain)
• Electric and Electromagnetic library (circuits, electromechanical devices)
• Chemistry Library (chemical kinetics)
• Controls library (signal processing)

more on application areas

GT-SUITE carries out simulation primarily with 1D fluid dynamics and a large collection of engineering models, with levels of detail, complexity and accuracy which can be specified by the user.

Uniquely in the industry, GT-SUITE is supplied as an all-inclusive package with many important and valuable Productivity Tools that are included with all licenses at no extra cost. These tools increase user efficiency, and thus are important part of the product.

GT-SUITE's capabilities can also be further enhanced by integrating with third party applications such as Star-CD and FLUENT. It can also incorporate experimental data for increased accuracy.

What do our users say about GT-SUITE?

"UTM has performed research works related to the engine performance and emission of biofuel diesel engine. GT-POWER was extensively used for the identification of optimized parameters that contribute to the better performance of the engine. The simulations enhanced our understanding on the studied parameters and proved to be very reliable, thus contributed to the reduction of the overall study and experimental workload."

"GT-Power has been extensively used to develop and simulate the one-dimensional model of internal combustion engines. It provides a powerful tool for us to investigate the engine performance and exhaust emissions while improving the engine design without taking much time. Highly useful and productive for our current research on the design of a retrofit fuel injection kit of 4-stroke small gasoline engine. Simulated results predict closely with the experimental works. A reliable and easy to use software. "
