ASM Gasoline Engine Basic

Real-time gasoline engine simulation model

Basic mean value engine model with combustion torque modulation.

The physical engine characteristics are represented by a mean value engine model with crank-angle-based torque generation, dynamic manifold pressure, temperature calculation, and an injection model. To simulate the engine in an automotive system (car or truck), the engine model incorporates a longitudinal drivetrain model with manual and automatic transmission, a clutch, a torque converter, a starter, and a test bench mode. Models for the environment and driver complement the virtual powertrain.
