Simulating an engine to evaluate valve opening vs crank angle?

Jake Whittaker May 7, 2012 9:02 AM

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and would appreciate some help in the following project.

I have drawn up a simulation of my race-motorcycle project, which comprises of a piston, crank, valves, camshafts and rockers.

I have added sensors and a motion study which rotates the engine (all parts move as they should) but now I'm stuck!

I wish to get solidworks to create graphs/spreadsheet data comparing valve opening against crank angle - how do I do this?

From distant memory, you could ask Motion Study to calculate displacement at each timeslice.

A right click on the displacement entry in the MS feature tree will pop up an option to export the results to a spreadsheet.

I recall I had results for multiple parameters in the same spreadsheet.
