It's taking me a bit to get the hang of this as the help is somewhat less than helpful......I think I'm close though. |

I fired off a bunch of questions this morning...there's no functioning engine example to work from so I wantt to be certain I'm not doing thing the dumb-ass way

I got the simulator running today! On to the engine part |

Going thought it all you build up a system from basic blocks, one of which is "Engine_Description" so creating a 12 cylinder with 12 fuel and 12 spark is as simple as typing 12 in the number of cylinders, number of coils and number of injectors boxes. Fuel and spark items can be created in 2 ways, ReqFuelX which sets the fuel pulse to all cylinders of ReqFuel1, ReqFuel2, .... which set individual cylinders. Pretty straight forward. I had some questions about how exactly fuel and spark were handled at the below the building block level that I got answered to so I'm nearly ready to roll. What i need to understand now are "append scripts" and to the x.graphml files. The idea with scripts is rather than build the whole program in 1 big file that will quickly become a hot mess you can build all the pieces in separate little files and the script pulls them all together into a big file.....I need to figure that out. then the x.graphml file is spit out when you save and is read by http://www.yworks.com/en/products/yfiles/yed which in theory creates a flow chart of the program so you can easily see what's connected to what.....very helpful once I figure out how to use it exactly. |

I'll ask an even dumber question; where do you get access to this console? And I assume this is for programming the low level firmware that will tell the AEM's processor that it's going to be running a 12 cylinder, spark ignited reciprocating engine, and not a gas turbine, or some other piece of industrial machinery? Then, how do you get the tuning options in there, like VE tables for fuel, ignition advance maps, etc.? |

Then, how do you get the tuning options in there, like VE tables for fuel, ignition advance maps, etc.? i just sent you an 11M zip....lets see if it arrives. The very low level stuff you don't need to worry about and don't see. What you see is the logic like: Analog_In_1->smoothing->calibration>MAP_signal MAP_Signal->VE_table->VE_Value VE_Value x lambda ->Required_Fuel Like that, but with some format requirements. Adding tables is easy Add channel - 2D lookup, call it VE, and select RPM and load for the axis Then to display the new table in the tuner Add control 2D Table Add control 3D Graph This gives you a VE table of any size you want that you can see/tune You can add tables, graphs, text boxes, etc for anything you please. Very simple and pretty nice. |

Got it and will play with it this evening or early tomorrow. |

some "light" reading material to explain how it all works http://enginelab.net/support_tree.php |

I spent time doing-over stuff I'd started with to break it all into smqall bites and setup a script to build the big model and now I'm right back where I was but items can be easily added or removed to build a custom model for whatever application. Now onward ! |
