This article presents a tool for designing new mechanisms of internal combustion engines based on the DASY knowledge database. An OHC valve train has been chosen for developing and testing the presented tool. The tool includes both a kinematic and dynamic model connected to a crank train. Values of unknown parameters have been obtained using detailed calibration and consequent validation of three dynamic models with measured data. The values remain stored in DASY and many of them can be used directly to design new mechanisms, even in cases where the geometries of some parts are different. The paper presents three methods which have been used not only for the calibration, but also for the identification of the influence of unknown parameters on valve acceleration and its vibration. The tool has been used to design the cam shapes for a prototype of the new mechanism.
