Your UPD can read engine speed, intake pressure, or even previous cycle values by using Common Blocks. AVL provides a standard interface:
COMMON /USER_ENGINE/ N_ENG, PMAN, TMAN, ...
REAL*8 N_ENG ! Engine speed [rpm]
Add this common block to your subroutine to make your model speed-dependent. avl boost tutorial upd
There are two main ways to handle the update process in AVL Boost. Here is the recommended workflow:
After simulation completes:
Instead of just burning, you can integrate a knock integral: If you came across this subject line in
! Knock integral dI = dt / tau
! tau = A * P^-n * exp(Ea/(R*T))
IF (CA .GT. CA_SOC .AND. CA .LT. CA_KNOCK_END) THEN
DT_CA = 1.0 / (6.0 * N_ENG) ! [sec] per degree CA
TAU_KNOCK = A * (P**-1.7) * EXP(3500.0 / T)
KNOCK_INT = KNOCK_INT + DT_CA / TAU_KNOCK
IF (KNOCK_INT .GE. 1.0) THEN
WRITE(TEXT,*) 'KNOCK at CA=', CA
I_ERR = 2 ! User-defined knock flag

AVL Boost categorizes UPDs by their application. For performance development, you will most frequently use:
| UPD Type | Application | Typical Use Case | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Cylinder | Combustion, heat transfer, gas properties | Custom burn rate, dual Wiebe, knock prediction | | Valve | Flow coefficients, lift dynamics | VVT control strategies, deactivation | | Pipe | Friction, heat transfer | Two-phase flow, condensation | | System | Global controls | PID controllers, plant model integration | | Booster | Compressor/turbine maps | Extrapolation beyond measured data |
For this tutorial, we focus on the Cylinder UPD – the most common for performance engineers. Better alternatives:
