STAR-CD es-ice (Expert System Internal Combustion Engines) is a meshing and analysis tool developed and used by Siemens Industry Software to simplify the meshing and analysis setup for transient in-cylinder flow and combustion calculations for reciprocating engines. The es-ice course is intended to provide users with the ability to use es-ice to model realistic engine geometries. It is an introduction to in-cylinder modeling with es-ice and STAR-CD. Upon completion of the course, users will have all of the tools needed to generate models with es-ice for their engine geometries, set up simple simulations, perform STAR-CD analyses, and post process their results.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Any user new to simulating reciprocating engine in-cylinder processes with es-ice.

PREREQUISITES
