VISUALIZATION OF ELASTIC BODY DYNAMICS FOR AUTOMOTIVE ENGINE SIMULATIONS ´ ´ ˇ ´ ¨ Zoltan Konyha, Josip Juric, Kresimir Matkovic Jurgen Krasser VRVis Research Center AVL List GmbH, Advanced Simulation Technologies Donau-City-Strasse 1, A-1220 Vienna, Austria Hans-List-Platz 1, A-8020 Graz, Austria email: Konyha,Juric,Matkovic@VRVis.at email: juer gen.krasser@ ABSTRACT cess data from various simulators of the AVL Workspace. Simulation of engine dynamics is a well established field of First, this paper introduces AVL Excite to make the work in the automotive industry. We have worked closely reader familiar with its workflow and some of the terms with one of the companies developing industry-leading used in the software. We show how adding a 3D view to software for dynamic simulation of cranktrains to improve the existing 2D engine model in Excite can improve usabil- the model creation in their product. We have extended the ity of the application and the productivity of engineers. A modeler with a 3D preview of the engine which enables comparison of the 2D and 3D views used while building the users to view a more direct representation of the design, simulation model is presented. Then the powerful tools we thereby improving the pace and efficiency of their work. offer to visualize simulation results of Excite are demon- The data sets resulting from the simulation are vast.
