MBD Simulation on IC Engine Valve Train

IC engine valve

Valve is a critical part of engine which has to be timed properly so allow intake of fuel and air , and removal of exhaust can happen at perfect time

Valve achieves this using cams
Cam is connected to engines drive shaft to maintain perfect timing

Parts required
Cam

Push Rod

Rocker arm

Valve mount

Valve

Procedure
1- parts were created to the dimensions required an assembled into a single file
2-Motion analysis was setup at 1500 rpm and 7200FPS to capture finer displacement
