Simulating the flow characteristics of positive displacement pumps such as gear pumps and vane pumps! A CFD software specialized for pumps that other CFD software struggles with!

Simerics MP+ is a fluid simulation tool designed to calculate the transient characteristics of various volumetric pumps, compressors, and valves. It is developed based on the thermal fluid simulation tool Simerics MP and utilizes all the features of Simerics MP. 【The following fluid analyses are possible】 ■ Free surface flow ■ Flow considering the compressibility of air contained in liquids ■ Pressure pulsations and 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 variations of flow fields (velocity vectors, pressure), flow rate, fluid forces, and torque The greatest strength is the ability to automatically create meshes even for clearances in the µm range, which is difficult for other general-purpose fluid analysis software!! Recently, there has been an increase in applications for oil pumps used in automobiles and construction machinery, with examples including vane pumps for power steering and CVTs, as well as trochoidal pumps for engine lubrication. *There is a lot of information that cannot be posted online. In particular, we encourage you to see the actual mesh creation and movement through a demonstration!

Introduction to the simulation of floodway driving as a case study of free surface analysis.

In this article, we will introduce application examples that can be useful for product development using Simerics' CAE/CFD software. In particular, in Japan, there are many instances of flooding, and there are situations where we must drive on submerged roads. Creating vehicles that can withstand flooded road conditions has become one of the important challenges in automotive development, but this requires spending a lot of cost and time on prototype manufacturing and testing. CFD simulations tend to become large-scale and take a long time to compute, but with Simerics' CFD, high-performance free surface fluid analysis can be processed quickly through large-scale parallel computing, allowing for easy and rapid results. The complex engine compartment is also modeled in detail, reproducing conditions close to actual experiments. Of course, changes in water depth and driving speed are also easily possible. From these calculation results, we can understand the pathways and amounts of water intrusion, providing feedback for shape design and preventing damage and electric shock. There are still many reasons to use Simerics' CFD software. You can find more details through the link below or feel free to contact us anytime!

Introduction to airflow simulation in the engine room as a case study of flow analysis.

CFD provides a way to shorten product development time, reduce prototyping costs, and obtain detailed data that is difficult to measure through experiments. In this article, we will introduce application examples that can be useful for product development using Simerics' CAE/CFD software. To prevent a car from overheating, it is necessary to intake air into the engine room and cool various components, making the design of the grille shape and ventilation parts crucial. Additionally, the grille not only serves a cooling function but also represents the car's "face," making it an important aspect of its appearance. Despite being such an important part, designing it requires significant time and costs for prototyping and experimentation. CFD simulations can also become large-scale, often leading to longer computation times; however, with Simerics' CFD, high-performance flow analysis can be processed quickly through large-scale parallel computing, allowing for easy and rapid results. It also models the complex engine room in detail, recreating conditions close to actual experiments. This can lead to significant reductions in labor and costs!

Introduction to the simulation of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, an example of thermal fluid analysis.

CFD provides a means to shorten product development periods, reduce prototyping costs, and obtain detailed data that is difficult to measure through experiments. In this article, we will introduce application examples that can assist in product development using Simerics' CAE/CFD software. Heat exchangers have various applications, including boilers, steam generators, and commonly in air conditioners, refrigerators, and automotive radiators. While it is essential to enhance heat transfer efficiency, there is also a demand for miniaturization, requiring various trial and error in the design process. However, designing requires significant time and costs for prototyping and experiments. In CFD simulations, computation time can often increase depending on the shape of the shell and the number of tubes. However, with Simerics' CFD, high-performance thermal fluid analysis can be processed quickly through large-scale parallel computing, allowing for easy and rapid acquisition of results. The interior of the shell is also modeled in detail, replicating conditions close to actual experiments. This is expected to lead to significant reductions in man-hours and costs!

Introducing a simulation of the water flow in a flush toilet, which is an example of a free surface.

In this article, we will introduce application examples that can be useful for product development using Simerics' CAE/CFD software. The water-flushing toilet that we commonly use involves various considerations in its design, not only regarding the cleaning power but also concerning water splashing and water conservation, even for something as simple as flushing water. To achieve this, it requires not only optimal shape ideas but also repeated trial and error regarding where and how much water to flow. However, doing so necessitates spending significant costs and time on toilet prototypes and experiments. With Simerics' CFD, high-performance free surface fluid analysis can be processed quickly through large-scale parallel computing, allowing for easy and rapid results. It also enables highly detailed modeling, which can replicate conditions close to actual experiments. From these computational results, we can accurately understand the flow of water, leading to significant reductions in labor and costs! There are still many reasons to use Simerics' CFD software.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact to the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If you require a detailed technical explanation, please contact us.

● This is a leak testing device for small electronic components that does not use fluorinated inert liquids (PFAS-free). ● There is no longer a need for unstable visual confirmation through liquid immersion testing. It adopts a quantitative testing method that allows for stable pressure leak testing. ● It is a tabletop leak testing device specifically for gross leaks, with accuracy equal to or greater than that of liquid immersion testing. ● The detectable range is approximately 1×10⁻² Pa·m³/s to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (varies depending on the target product). ● It is suitable for sealed structures ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 80 × 70 mm.
