MBD Simulation on IC Engine Valve Train
AIM:- Design IC Engine Train Valve and check the Motion Study
OBJECTIVE:- A valve Train is a mechanical system that controls operation of the intake and exhaust valve in an internal combustion engine. The intake valve controls the flow of air/fuel mixture (or air alone for direct-injected Engines) into the combustion chamber, while the exhaust valves control the flow of spent exhaust gases out of the combustion chamber once combustion is completed
BODY:-
STEPS TAKEN TO DESIGN AND SIMULATE THE ENGINE.
- First, we have to design a model of all parts of the assembly in Solidworks.
- Design CAM ENgine for two different conditions.
- Then we have to assemble all of the 5 parts in both conditions. Specific way or with corrects mate.
- For an assembly enable visible the axis for a proper mate.
- After the assembly, we have to switch from animation to Motion analysis.
- Before going to motion analysis we first use move component command.
- In move command, there is an option for physical damage.
- Use this command due to this all farts are set to their position, and it is a very useful command.
- Apply material Cast Iron in both conditions
- For motion analysis, we should cross-check that solid works Motion enable or not.
- First, we have set a motor at the axis of the piston motor with RPM 1500.
- Then we use contact command set relation between two bodies
- First, we have set contact relation between CAM ENGINE and PUSH ROD
- Then we have set contact relation between PUSH ROD and CRANK ROCKER
- And the last contact between VALVE ENGINE and CRANK ROCKER
- Then we have to set spring between them
- Set gravity in Y- direction
- After Calculating it gives result but not proper for this we have to apply the material on all the component
- Plot two graph b/w. TIME AND LINEAR DISPLACEMENT for two different positions.
- Plot the Graph for both conditions.
- After clicking show plot clicks on export to a spreadsheet.
- To export the spreadsheet for both positions.

CONCLUSION:-
A valvetrain or valve train is a mechanical system that controls the operation of the intake and exhaust valves in an internal combustion engine
