CAViDS Consortium AMESim Heat Generation Model A CAViDS Consortium Project Advisory Board Report January 25, 2011
CAViDS Consortium Project Objective • Develop an AMESim heat generation model of a gearbox system which compares favorably with experimental results.
CAViDS Consortium Approach • Phase 1: Obtain software and familiarize. • Phase 2: M odel relevant systems: • FZG test stand at Caterpillar • Eaton heavy transmission • Eaton medium transmission
CAViDS Consortium Process to Date • Developed spreadsheet with Changenet calculations • Loaded version 9 • Got acquainted with system with mechanical spring-mass systems • Built and exercised simple heat model • Loaded version 10 • Added air convection internal calculations • AMESim support added oil sump • Identified heat transfer student to support
