LMS Imagine.Lab Emissions focuses on overall engine optimization according to required emission standards. The ready-to-use models enable users to test engine configurations including the after-treatment components and control strategies, and consequently investigate strategies for emission reduction. LMS Imagine.Lab Emissions assists in meeting the most stringent emission standards (Euro IV and V, TierII) and helps accurately model and analyze NOx, CO, CO2, particles emission levels depending on technological choices.
LMS Imagine.Lab Emissions is based on the AMESim multi-domain system simulation approach and comes with a set of advanced tools and libraries for modeling the engine architecture and its environment (injection system, exhaust, combustion chamber, cooling system). The IFP-Drive, IFP-Engine, IFP-Exhaust, Thermal, Cooling System libraries can model the whole engine system and easily couple multiple physical domains to accurately study interactions and cross-influences.
LMS Imagine.Lab Emissions is especially useful for engineers in charge of engine or exhaust development and calibration. It offers new opportunities in terms of system optimization and focuses on the possibility to couple the engine and exhaust system. It is strongly linked to other engine solutions, such as air path management, combustion, injection, control and thermal management.
It helps to investigate the effect of engine design parameters and control strategies on the engine-out emissions taking into account the running conditions, the combustion process itself as well as the influence on the exhaust process and the tailpipe emissions. LMS Imagine.Lab Emissions presents a new method to explore and optimize engine emissions during cold start with engine warm-up and catalytic converter light-off.
