The simulation toolset provides the capability to predict exhaust emissions using 1D simulation, allowing the rapid analysis of different component options. This includes analysing complex models of catalyst honeycombs with surface chemical reactions, defining exhaust boundary conditions and mapping heat transfer models in the system. Coupled with a powertrain library, the exhaust system performance can be predicted across a complete drive cycle with analysis of exhaust materials and the thermal operating conditions over the life of the catalyst.

Allows investigation of exhaust systems without specific catalytic converter experience
Building blocks including catalytic converter systems with fluid channel and wall heat transfer models
Simulates the balance of vehicle performance with fuel economy and lower emissions
Fast model setup and rapid simulation times reducing the need for physical prototype builds

Exhaust analysis consists of two packages coupling emissions data from combustion with aftertreatment systems modelling:

IGNITE, is a complete physics-based aftertreatment simulation package. With a library system of building blocks, the user can quickly and accurately model complete exhaust systems, analysing data around emissions, performance and efficiency.
