Simerics Announces the Release of PumpLinx V. 3.0.
PumpLinx is a 3D simulation software tool, uniquely suited for the analysis and design of pumps, motors, compressors, propellers, valves, hydraulic systems and other fluid devices with rotating or sliding components.
PumpLinx can be used to improve efficiency, minimize cavitation, control pressure ripple, and reduce noise. PumpLinx, based on the Simerics general-purpose CFD simulation software, enables the engineer to create a virtual test article and generate flow visualization and engineering output as accurate as a full scale hardware test at a fraction of the time and cost.
The code is continually being developed to add new capability for modeling a wide range of equipment. With this in mind, Simerics is pleased to release PumpLinx V. 3.0.
New Features:
- A new design of graphic interface and post-processing data structure; now PumpLinx supports up to four concurrent display of GL project windows;
- Expanded valve and pump templates, such as new remesh model for rotational devices and variable displacement vane pump;
- More physics models, such as dynamics module for any translational and rotational movements; and more advanced porous resistance model;
- Major improvements of Conformal Adaptative Binary-tree (CAB) mesher: memory usage and time to generate mesh are reduced significantly;
Also more than fifty new developments have been implemented in the new version.
