PISDYN
Reduce costs and development time through fast, accurate piston analysis
PISDYN is an advanced 3D simulation package used to predict piston and connecting rod assembly dynamics. A key benefit of PISDYN is that it enables users to quickly and efficiently optimise piston geometry helping to reduce the need for expensive and difficult testing.
How it works
PISDYN’s core technology is based around an advanced lubrication model that simulates the interfaces between the piston and liner, piston and piston pin, and wrist-pin and connecting rod. Through simulation, engineers can use a hierarchy of structural models to minimise scuffing, wear, friction loss and piston slap.
