Week 1 : Exploring the GUI of GT-POWER
Q Explore the GUI of GT SUITE and list down modules available with brief description
Ans:- GT Suite is the CAE simulation tool with capabilities and libraries aimed at a vide range of application and industries. It offer engineering funtionalities ranging from fast concept design to detailed system or sub system/component analysis,design optimization and root couse investigation.
Industries used GT-Suite
(1) On highway Vehicle
(2) Off- Highway vehicle
(3) Marine and rail
(4) Industrial Machinery
(5) Aerospace
(6) Power Generation
Multi Physics platform
The foundation of GT-SUITE is a versatile multi physics platform for constructing models of general systems based on many underlying fundamental libraties:
(1) Flow library(Any fluid,gas or liquid or mixture)
(2) Acoustics library (Both linear and non linear)
(3) Thermal libraty(all types of heat Transfer)
(4) Mechanical Library (Kinematics,Multi-body dynamics,Frequency domain)
(5) Electric and Electromagnetic library (Circuit,electromechanical devices)
(6) Chemistry Library (Chemical Kinetics)
(7)Controls library(Signal Processing)
(8) Built-in 3D CFD and 3D FE( thermal and Structural)
Modern Software and unique capabilities
(1) Fusion of 1D and 3D simulation in one tool
(2) Imports solid models from CAD to create 1D and 3D models
(3) Performs embedded 3D(CFD) and 3D FE thermal /structural modeling with all boundry conditions provided by the simulated surrounding complete system

Above Templates are used by different companies according to their applications.
Time control flag
Time control flag are of two type continous and periodic used according to case setup. For Engine application Time control flag is periodic and for other applications continous option. In max. simulation Duration we define time for which setup will run to get converged solution.
Time step and solution control
Time step define duration of simulation result to converge. we can control time step and solution with option automatic shut off when steady state . with on option when solution converge it will automatically stop run setup.
Integrator/Solver type
There is lot of solver option like runga kutta method in below Run Setup option.
Explore intercooler tutorial
Open Intercooler tutorial as shown below and define all input parameters
Define Inlet and outlet Diamter= 50mm and length =1000mm and Material is steel.
Define Mass flow rate in Intercooler is 1200 Kg/h
Define outlet parameter is at 2bar and temperature is 30 C
Define Inlet parameter mass flow rate 1200Kg/h and Temperature 100C and flow composition is air.
Run Setup
Run the case after input all parameters and open result with GT post Processor.
Results
Pressure Drop
when open results with GT Post Processor and Pressure Drop between end boundaries is 1.1233 e-5 as shown below
Heat Transfer Rate
Average Heat Transfer rate is 7.5539 Kw as shown below
