From our Chairman & CEO
5 Virtual Product Development
"Our customers are diverse, but all have something in common – they all expect the best from Caterpillar. They expect the best quality, the best performance, the best productivity and more than anything, they expect the best value for the price they pay. We've got our work cut out for us to deliver on these expectations. That's why we have to set the bar high."

Caterpillar, Argonne, CSI Engine Simulation Partnership
17 Virtual Product Development
Scientific Achievements• Use of High-spatial and temporal resolution• Robust turbulence models• Use of detailed chemistry based combustion models• High-performance computing enabled due to the
implementation of advanced load-balancing algorithms
• Solving “one-of-a-kind” problem
Project Impact• Unprecedented insights into the combustion
process• Grid-convergent results• Increased predictive capability• Modify “best practices” in industry

18 Virtual Product Development
Project ImpactEngine simulations have been run on a scalable fashion on 2048 processors at the leadership computing facility
Scientific AchievementThis was possible due to the implementation of METIS load-balancing algorithm in CONVERGE software in a collaborative project between Argonne, Convergent Science Inc., and Caterpillar Inc.
High-fidelity simulations: 35 million cells, Minimum grid-size ~ 100 µm
