IGNITE - Emissions aftertreatment systems modelling
IGNITE contains a comprehensive library of 1-D emissions aftertreatment models. It enables users to predict the tailpipe emissions of various engine exhaust system configurations. Hence it also helps to evaluate the impact of the vehicle-level control on the desired emission reduction. The simulation time for predicting vehicle tailpipe emissions for a single simulation experiment is typically completed in about 20 minutes over the WLTC cycle corresponding to 30 mins (1800 sec), faster than real-time.
