	Model of valve system

To predict the complex behavior of valve and injector train systems, Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) engineers use both in-house design and commercially available software analysis tools. These tools provide the ability to quickly evaluate train and cam design and to predict dynamic characteristics.

When coupled with solid model CAD data and stiffness calculations from finite element analysis, system simulations become fast and accurate tools for the design engineer.

SwRI experience includes finite element analysis of all major engine assemblies and components: cylinder heads and blocks, pistons, connecting rods, crankshafts, valve train components, fuel system components, etc.
