Oh geeze.
There are never too many variables and a computer can recognize patterns far better than a human.

Oh geeze.
Not even close.
Maybe you don’t need to improve your combinations then. If so, good for you, but my guess is you’re not building heads up racing engines.
And conversely, if it involves equations it should be in Advanced Engine Tech?

Every project. where we both designed cams, he wasn't even in the same ballpark.
Yes you can. You can record every single parameter, millions of them if you could. Get enough data and you will come very close.blykins wrote: ↑Fri May 18, 2018 12:05 pm I'm always looking for improvements, but a piece of cam software isn't going to tell me what to try next.
What you're describing is a "log" of cams that have been used. A piece of software can't tell you if the cam is going to be a spring eater, or if it will have x inches of vacuum, with a specific timing curve, etc.
You want to learn from me? Grab an engine, a hand full of cams, and head to the dyno. That's how I do it.
I would like to investigate such a programWhat 1 D software do you recommend for a semi-novice engine builder?
No. If the average engine builder can understand it, it's fine here. If you want to get into dissecting the math involved in the equations, that should be in the advance forum.mekilljoydammit wrote: ↑Fri May 18, 2018 11:58 amAnd conversely, if it involves equations it should be in Advanced Engine Tech?CamKing wrote: ↑Fri May 18, 2018 10:43 amIf the discussion uses terms like "3/4 Race", "Full Race", "Lopey Idle", "Sounds mean", or "max effort", it shouldn't be on the Advanced Engine Tech forum.mekilljoydammit wrote: ↑Fri May 18, 2018 10:36 am Man, what's the intended dividing line between "advanced engine tech" and "engine tech" on this forum anyway?
Yeah, we're not seeing eye to eye on this. That's ok, have a good day.hoffman900 wrote: ↑Fri May 18, 2018 12:12 pmYes you can. You can record every single parameter, millions of them if you could.

This is how science and engineering work, which you should know. Lol.
