The increasing complexity in engine technology, such as valve train systems, can be managed through precisely coordinated components. For extreme applications like large engines, rail drives, or maritime applications, holistic development approaches are required.

Modern combustion engines are becoming increasingly complex, making isolated optimizations of individual components no longer sufficient. Current development projects are increasingly revealing that even minor deviations in component geometry or material behavior can trigger domino effects, which only become apparent in the interaction of multiple components. Particularly critical factors include thermal expansion, friction zones, or the interplay between the valve stem, guide, and seat ring, which can only be fully understood through a system-level analysis.
