CAMPRO and CAMPRO PLUS, Audie Technology Inc.
http://www.audietech.com/cpinfo.htm
Shows high-resolution graphics to visualize cam lobes, valve lift, base circle runout,
overlap, velocity, acceleration, and jerk.
DESINE, Gary Matthews, Gainesville, Fla., GKMatthew@aol.com
The main emphasis of this software is for the design of the camshaft and valve train
system. The polynomial powers are not restricted to integers. It also accepts internal
conditions by techniques that avoid “runoff” on flat follows.
DOCTOR DOCTOR, Gary Matthews, Gainesville, Fla., GKMatthew@aol.com
Accepts lift files from any source for complete analysis of lift curves (cam or valve),
can be overlaid allowing for resources quality control data corrected for runout, and
can be filtered to remove manufacturing noise.
DYNOMATION, Allan H. Lookheed, Golden, Colo.; (303) 238–2415
Computer modeling of internal combustion engine dynamics plus optional data inputs
from most files.
