AVL FIRE® WINS CFD BENCHMARK AT MAJOR GERMAN AUTOMOTIVE OEM

After evaluating five CFD software products for 18 months, AVL FIRE® will be used at BMW Group, one of the world’s leading automotive OEMs, as a simulation tool in its engine development department.

As part of the evaluation the participating software vendors performed typical simulation tasks taking place during the development of Direct-Injection Spark Ignition engines. Following that the vendors had the opportunity to present their products on-site. Besides the quality of the achieved calculation results, the assessment also included the effort to set up a computational case and the availability of simulation models. Additional criteria were the involvement of each software provider in research projects, continuity in product development and maintenance and the opportunity to establish a successful long-term partnership with the supplier.

Maik Suffa, Product Manager of AVL FIRE® states:

“The result of the benchmark proves that AVL FIRE® ranks among the best available solutions in the area of flow simulations for engines and that AVL is acknowledged as a reliable partner of the automotive industry.”
