Description
The Engine File (.veng) defines all engine-related parameters and input files like Fuel Consumption Map and Full Load Curve.
Relatve File Paths
It is recommended to define
relative filepaths. This way the Job File and all input files can be
moved without having to update the paths.
Example: "Demo\FLD1.vfld" points to the "Demo" subdirectory of the Engine File's directoy.
VECTO automatically uses relative paths if the input file (e.g. FC Map)
is in the same directory as the Engine File. (The Engine File must be
saved before browsing for input files.)
Main Engine Parameters
Make
and Model
Free text defining the
engine model, type, etc.
Idling
Engine Speed [rpm]
Low idle, applied in
simulation for vehicle standstill in neutral gear position.
Displacement
[ccm]
Inertia
including Flywheel [kgm
2]
Inertia for rotating parts
including engine flywheel
. In
Declaration Mode the inertia is calculated automatically.
Full Load and Drag Curve
The
Full Load and Drag Curve (.vfld). Note that gear-specific full load curves can be defined in the
Gearbox File to limit the maximum gearbox input torque.
The input file (.vfld) file format is described
here.
Fuel Consumption Map
The
Fuel Consumption Map is used to calculate the base FC value. See
Fuel Consumption Calculation for details.
The input file (.vmap) file format is described
here.
WHTC Correction Factors
The WHTC Correction Factors are required in
Declaration Mode for the
WHTC FC Correction.
Chart Area
The Chart Area shows the fuel consumption map and the selected full load curve.
