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.

In civil engineering sites, there are many instances where sheet boards are used for temporary roads, access roads, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and pedestrian pathways. Traditional steel plates are heavy, which can require large cranes or heavy machinery for installation and removal, increasing the workload depending on site conditions. Hyper CLT sheet boards are civil engineering materials made from wooden CLT for civil use. The 5×10 board weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle even with small machinery, which allows for easier installation without the need for large cranes. They also contribute to reducing the burden of transportation, installation, and removal, as well as improving maneuverability on site. Recommended as a registered technology by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A," it is suitable for companies considering civil engineering, civil use, and civil CLT. This material is easy to use for creative proposals in public works, such as alternatives to steel plates, common temporary structures, temporary roads, and curing for material storage areas.

What is an Air Leak Tester? An "Air Leak Tester" is a device that pressurizes the inside (or outside) of a sealed workpiece with air and determines the presence of leaks based on pressure changes. When a master with no leaks and a workpiece with leaks are pressurized, the pressure on the workpiece side decreases, creating a pressure difference between the two. By measuring this pressure difference, the presence of leaks can be determined. Generally, differential pressure air leak testing is widely used, but Fukuda also offers products that utilize direct pressure leak testing and flow meters according to the leak rate, in addition to differential pressure leak testers. Since the air leak tester uses air as the measurement medium, it incurs no running costs and is environmentally friendly.
