4 Stroke Diesel Engine Simulation

How can I use simscape and/or powertrain blockset to design a 4 stroke diesel engine, and then inject failures to predict when it may fail? Probably a link to a tutorial of the whole process from intake - compression - power - exhaust will be fine. I am new to simulink. Thanks.

Probably you might find some t it tutorials by Steve Miller related to automotive simulations.
I've gone through tutorial videos here but couldn't find what I wanted. The closest thing I saw was modelling a cooling system and diesel in-line injection system. They are close to what I want but not exactly. Thanks.

Hello Augustine
One option is to use the engine block from simscape driveline https://se.mathworks.com/help/physmod/sdl/ref/pistonengine.html
With more effort, u can create a multibody model in 3D importing from CAD.
Hope this helped Juan

Why is there a negative mass flow rate at the inlet of Pipe Outlet?

If you're interested in engine "failing" in terms of things like misfire, this example might also be helpful.
