Analyze the cooling of the E-Axle with Simerics, which has strong rotating and VOF capabilities! It's also suitable for switching from other general-purpose CFD solvers or particle methods.
【The following fluid analyses are possible】
■ Free surface flow
■ Flow considering the compressibility of air contained in liquids
■ Pressure pulsation, water hammer effects
■ Coupling of pump flow with the rigid body motion of valves and cam rings
■ Flow in low to medium vacuum conditions
■ Compressible flow (subsonic)
■ Cavitation
■ Time variation of flow field (velocity vectors, pressure), flow rate, fluid forces, and torque
Recently, there has been an increase in projects for cooling analysis of E-Axles for automobiles, and when solving the VOF method with other CFD software, we have received inquiries such as:
- Analysis time is too long
- It is difficult to create fine calculation meshes
- The analysis diverges and does not converge
Additionally, even when analyzed using particle methods, we have received feedback that accurate thermal analysis cannot be performed, and it is only possible to identify areas where oil is present.
Our company undertakes actual contracted work from Tier 1 customers, gaining know-how that cannot be obtained solely from software sales.
