LMS Imagine.Lab Internal Combustion Engine Related Hydraulics helps design and optimize fuel systems and components from tank to injector. It further assists in designing valve actuation systems in relation to the engine cylinder:
Injection Systems
- Gasoline, diesel and alternative fuels: DME, LPG, CNG
- Low and high-pressure injection systems
- Indirect/direct injection, common rail, unit injector, in-line pump
- Solenoid, piezo, electro-hydraulic valve or mechanical actuation
Valvetrain
- Variable valve timing and cam phasing
- Variable valve actuation with mechanical (MVT), electro-mechanical (EMVT) or electro-hydraulic (EHVT) systems
- Engine compression brake
- Camless systems

LMS Imagine.Lab Internal Combustion Engine Related Hydraulics is based on the LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim multi-domain system simulation approach and helps develop new concepts to confront challenges posed in systems such as high pressure multiple injections, gasoline direct injection, return-less low pressure gasoline systems, variable valvetrain and engine compression brake systems. The solution comes with a large and flexible set of models, addressing different complexity levels (leakage, compressibility, stiffness, inertias, friction...).
The accessibility, solver efficiency and accuracy of the models help both specialist and non-specialist engineers to design robust systems while keeping costs and delays under control.
