Engine Simulations

TECAT Engineering custom designs their engine simulation tools to meet all client needs in areas such as: performance, fuel economy, and emissions. Novel research engine platforms often cannot be evaluated with conventional engine simulation software packages. TECAT Engineering creates custom simulations of novel engines and utilizes these packages to optimize the thermodynamics of these systems. Our simulation software predictions have been confirmed on prototype engine tests.

Software Tools

• Thermal Network Model
• WinKiva
• The Virtual Dynamometer
• Hybrid Electric Engine

Engine Prototypes

• Gas Turbine Diesel Engine
• Inwardly Opposed Piston Diesel
• LIM
