MAIN FEATURES:
– Comprehensive physics
Flow, Turbulence, Conjugate Heat Transfer, Aeration, Cavitation, Particles

– Accurate predictions
Excellent correlation with test data over the full operating range

– Fast model creation, even faster simulation speed
Less than an hour from CAD to Simulation, < 15 min. for steady-state results

– Able to model complex details down to the micro scale
Accurately model leakage gaps, tip clearances, balance holes, etc.

KEY ADVANTAGES
PumpLinx is built on Simerics MP’s baseline technology to provide a transient 3-D simulation software uniquely suited for the analysis and design of pumps and other fluid devices with rotating or sliding components.

– Accurate Results:
PumpLinx consistently provides simulation predictions that are within 5% of physical hardware test results over the full operating range.

– Superior Cavitation/Aeration Module:
PumpLinx rigorously and independently accounts for the formation, transport, and effects of non-condensable gases (e.g. air) and cavitation vapor, as opposed to using a lumped effective compressibility approach.

– Fast Calculation Times:
PumpLinx has repeatedly been shown to be more than 10 times faster than other commercial codes, enabling more complex simulations, including full transient analysis when needed.

– Robust Solver:
PumpLinx is able to converge extremely difficult problems, even those with detailed micro-scale features and/or severe cavitation.

– Ease of Use:
Less than 30 minutes is typically required to create a model with the aid of templates, automated mesh generation and a single GUI for set-up, simulation, and post-processing.

– TEMPLATES
FOR VALVES, PUMPS, COMPRESSORS, TURBINES, AND MOTORS
PumpLinx provides templates/modules for different categories of components and systems. These templates and modules enable the rapid set-up and simulation of a full range of pumps, motors, turbines, and valves.
