Internal Combustion Mapped and Dynamic Engine Models

When you customize a SI or CI reference application, you can use either a dynamic or mapped engine model. The table provides considerations for using either implementation.

Type		Implementation	When to Use
Mapped	CiMappedEngine SiMappedEngine	Model uses a set of steady-state lookup tables to characterize engine performance. The tables provide overall engine characteristics, including actual torque, fuel flow rate, BSFC, and engine-out exhaust emissions.	If you have engine data from a dynamometer or a design tool like GT-POWER. For quasi steady-state engine simulations.
Dynamic	CiEngine SiEngine	Model decomposes the engine behavior into engine characteristics that are separated into lower-level components. By combining components in this way, the models capture the dynamic effects.	If you need a more detailed dynamic model and have component-level data. To analyze the impact of individual engine components on the overall performance.
