Specialist Engine Performance and Component Durability Analysis

Evolving computer technology has revolutionised the approach and ability of engineers to thoroughly and precisely investigate design compromises, long before the hardware stage and with a dramatic and highly beneficial reduction in cost. Ilmor employ specialist engineers who have hands on, practical knowledge of engines and are qualified and expertly trained in the use of analysis tools to predict and optimise engine performance and component durability. As well as remaining at the forefront of technological advancement by using tools such as 1D Engine Simulation and Finite Element Analysis, Ilmor have also established numerous other internally developed programs to ensure the absolute precision and accuracy of our analysis. 1D simulation allows engine performance and response to software or hardware changes to be effectively ascertained with predictive technology thus reducing the need to manufacture expensive hardware that may ultimately yield no benefit. Finite Element Analysis allows potential failure points on a component to be successfully identified and addressed at the design stage which can result in enormous cost reductions by ensuring components are going to perform to the highest possible degree first time around and as a consequence leads to a rapidly increased pace of performance development. Here at Ilmor we believe that analysis is vital and effective tool in the pursuit of ultimate engine expertise, consistency of design and ability to guarantee performance at every turn.
