It is no secret that we like simulating circuits before we build something, and there are plenty of great tools for that. But what about those of us who work on cars? Well, you might try engine-sim which is a real-time internal combustion engine simulation. Honestly, the program freely admits that it isn’t accurate enough to do engineering or engine tuning. But on the plus side, it has audio output and is at least good as an educational tool to show an engine running and how different parameters might affect it. You can see a video of the tool from the link below.
The software is open source, so it is not only the engine simulation you can learn about, but also how the software works. Unfortunately, it builds on Windows OS only.
