Fluid analysis software Simerics MP+ for oil pumps.
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!
basic information
(1) Automatic generation of calculation meshes! Even for complex flow paths, automatic generation of calculation meshes is possible with simple button operations. Additionally, for pump chambers involving rotation/volume changes, high-precision calculation meshes can be automatically generated using a dedicated mesh creation module. It is possible to automatically execute the movement/rotation/deformation of high-precision meshes without tedious tasks. (2) Fluid analysis of various gear pumps is possible! Simerics MP+ has mesh creation capabilities for various pumps, including different gear pumps, making it easy to perform calculations for a variety of pumps. It also has a mesh creation function for valves, allowing for calculations of flow paths that include valves, and coupled analysis is also possible. (3) More accurate modeling of aeration/cavitation! It includes a high-precision cavitation model, making it possible to predict the expansion of non-condensable gases and the generation of vapor due to cavitation. (4) Calculation of free surface flow It has become possible to analyze the oil scooping within the gearbox and the oil suction from the oil pan during pump startup.

Applications/Examples of results
Simerics MP+ is primarily used by automobile manufacturers and automotive-related parts manufacturers in Japan, with numerous achievements in applications such as oil pumps for automatic transmissions (AT) and continuously variable transmissions (CVT), as well as engine oil pumps. Globally, it has a wide range of implementation achievements not only in the automotive industry but also in various other sectors. Examples of global achievements by the developer can be found at: http://www.simerics.com/testimonials/ In addition to overseas use, there are many cases in Japan where companies that have already purchased multiple fluid analysis software are acquiring it to improve usability, accuracy, and reduce calculation time in the analysis of volumetric pumps such as gear pumps and vane pumps. A case study on fluid analysis of a vane pump using 'Simerics MP+' was published in KYB Corporation's KYB Technical Report No. 53 OCT. 2016.

We have adopted PumpLinx and become "Hydraulic Masters"! We have published a user interview with Kyushu Institute of Technology!
We have published a new user case for Simerics' "PumpLinx," which is one of our handled products. You can download the case from the following URL: https://www.ipros.jp/catalog/detail/467444 Kyushu Institute of Technology originated from the private Meiji Specialized School established in 1907 (Meiji 40), and it became a national university in 1949. It is the only national university with a Department of Information Engineering and is located in the Kitakyushu Industrial Area, the largest industrial zone in Kyushu, which is also famous for conducting tests on the Hayabusa (MUSES-C) spacecraft that reached asteroid Itokawa. Last autumn, we received an inquiry from Professor Emeritus Kazuhiro Tanaka of Kyushu Institute of Technology. Subsequently, Professor Shimizu and his students from the Kyo-Shimizu Laboratory conducted an evaluation trial, and they recognized the advantages of our software compared to other CFD software they had been using, leading to its adoption. We spoke with Professor Shimizu from the Kyo-Shimizu Laboratory, as well as master's students Hirose and Watanabe from the first year.
