| Error | Likely Cause | Fix | |-------|--------------|-----| | Simulation won’t start | Missing boundary condition | Add SB or set initial pressure | | Negative pressure during intake | Too small intake duct diameter | Increase diameter or check valve Cd | | No combustion | Wrong Wiebe start angle | Set start before TDC | | Non-converging cycle | Wrong initial condition | Start from IVC using motored pressure |
Objective: Simulate 1500 RPM, wide-open throttle, gasoline combustion.
