Single-Cylinder Research Engine
Sustainable Energy and Mobility
The powertrain design, analysis and simulation team at Southwest Research Institute helps clients develop solutions for engines, powertrains and components. Our experience includes mechanical design, mechanical analysis, and thermodynamic analyses of engine performance using computer aided engineering (CAE) tools such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA).
Powertrain Simulation & CAE Design Solutions
SwRI’s experience ranges from design and development of component and system upgrades to “clean sheet” full-engine designs to meet new product requirements, improve exhaust emissions, increase fuel economy and gain higher power output. Our powertrain simulation services cover internal combustion engines, electric powertrains, hybrid vehicles, and EV batteries, cells and packs.
SwRI performs CFD automotive analysis on IC engines, electric powertrains and EV batteries.
