PumpLinx has mesh templates for various types of pumps. By using templates tailored to the specific pump type being analyzed, the time and effort typically spent on mesh generation for fluid analysis of standard pumps can be significantly reduced and streamlined. For example, even for complex mechanisms like vane pumps, optimal meshes for analysis can be quickly and automatically generated by setting parameters such as the number of vanes based on 3D CAD data. Additionally, the integrated GUI allows for smooth handling of operations such as mesh generation, setting analysis conditions, executing calculations, and displaying results all on a single screen, making the analysis easier and faster. Furthermore, many volumetric pumps, including internal gear pumps, may experience cavitation during the operating cycle. PumpLinx supports cavitation analysis through the adoption of high-precision cavitation models and cavitation damage models.

Particle-PLUS is a plasma and rarefied fluid analysis software that uses the particle method. It is effective for research, development, and manufacturing of devices and materials using plasma. It is also capable of analyzing advanced physical models such as dual-frequency CCP and external circuit models. With comprehensive support, even those new to simulation or busy with experiments can reliably achieve results. The software employs a particle model to analyze plasma, using the PIC/MC (Particle In Cell / Monte Carlo) method to track the motion of particles representing electrons and ions. Additionally, depending on the target plasma density, it efficiently switches between implicit methods for relatively high densities and explicit methods for low densities, allowing for effective solutions even with complex models. It excels in plasma simulations of low-pressure gases, where fluid modeling is particularly challenging. In addition to standard functions for CCP, ICP, and magnetron sputtering calculations, customization to fit the customer's equipment is also available.

1. What can and cannot be done with Excel FT diagrams can be created using Excel (or other Office tools). However, FT diagrams created in Excel cannot perform safety analyses such as cut set analysis or quantitative evaluations. They also cannot provide explanations for safety evaluations of models at the system level. 2. What cannot be done without specialized tools Cut set analysis, common cause failures, dependent failures, and systematic failures are difficult to express without specialized tools. The Enterprise version allows for revision management during collaborative work. It can also integrate with external tools like DOORS to manage changes during collaboration. 3. Differentiating between Excel and FTA+ For FT diagrams that are not complex and do not have common cause failures, Excel is suitable as it can be created relatively easily without additional costs. For models that are ASIL C or higher, or those that involve common cause failures that cannot be intuitively identified, FaultTree+ with its robust analysis features is more appropriate. When considering tools for ISO 26262 compliance, it is essential to ensure that cut set analysis can be performed.
