PUMPLINX 4.03 PumpLinx® is a 3-D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tool that provides accurate virtual testing for the analysis and performance prediction of fluid pumps, motors, compressors, turbines, valves, and complete fluid systems with rotating/sliding components. For liquid systems, PumpLinx’s® proprietary Cavitation Module accurately models vapor, free gas and liquid compressibility to enable the analysis of performance, pressure ripple, and cavitation damage. 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. Result Accuracy Accurate Results: PumpLinx consistently provides simulation predictions that are within 5% of physical hardware test results over the full operating range. (Testimonial) Cavitation 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. (Testimonial) Convergence 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. (Testimonial) Robust Solver Robust Solver: PumpLinx is able to converge extremely difficult problems, even those with detailed micro-scale features and/or severe cavitation. (Testimonial) Easy of Use 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. (Testimonial) Support Virtually Unlimited Support: PumpLinx comes with extensive training and virtually unlimited support in helping set-up cases. (Testimonial)
