Analysis-led development of a novel opposed-piston two-stroke engine

Steve Gravante, Chief Analyst, Ricardo Inc.
Virtual Simulation Event 2022

Ricardo’s recent involvement in the development of a novel opposed-piston two-stroke (OP2S) engine serves as a good illustration of how a virtual product development (VPD) process utilizing computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools from Ricardo Software can be leveraged to ensure product success.

Steve Gravante starts his presentation by introducing the programme goals, the unique design features of the engine and the engineering challenges peculiar to OP2S engines. He then shows how analysis and simulation was applied using the Ricardo Software portfolio to address those engineering challenges.
