4. Summary Summary • The hydraulic cam phaser can be simulated by means of different movements in STAR-CCM+. • A Java macro is used for controlling the required valve movements and the remeshing of the morphed region. • The modular simulation model can be easily adapted to new designs. • The impact of the design of the oil chambers on the "adjustment speed" target variable can be calculated and optimized at the digital assembly stage. • Calibrating the 1D system simulation at the digital assembly stage helps to generate reliable performance maps.  The time and effort involved in testing is significantly reduced. 25 2014-03-17_Presentation_Daimler-Berlin | Daimler AG Berlin Plant | 03/17/2014
