It may well be that products based on the technology I mentioned have not yet hit market, but as of 2000 the physical modeling techniques for car engine simulation were functional and ready for licensing. The company has since been acquired by a major chip manufacturer, and I expect that car engines are low on their priority list. -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://salamandersongs.com http://ill-wind.com
