Enginuity

Enginuity is an industry-leading engine model tool package, specifically taylored to the needs of interactive engine control system development and real-time system evaluation. Enginuity engine models are based on the Mathworks Simulink modeling tool framework. Enginuity model components embody a unique, physics-based modeling approach which affords a high level of model accuracy across the entire engine operating envelope while preserving computational efficiency. Enginuity models thus support comprehensive engine control and diagnostics strategy development at any level of complexity within an entirely virtual setting (Matlab Simulink). This significantly shortens the strategy development cycle and helps to alleviete the need for expensive experimental test infrsastructure.

The Enginuity tool package consists of an engine component model library and a user interface tool for an automated model calibration process. The tool package facilitates the rapid assembly and calibration of accurate, real-time capable simulation models for any given target engine. Enginuity supports port fuel injected (PFI), direct injected (DI), spark ignition (SI), and compression ignition (CI) engine applications. The component model blocks execute very efficiently both on PCs within Simulink or on dedicated HIL target platforms such as dSPACE, ADI or Opal-RT systems.
