Fluid analysis software Simerics MP+ for vane pumps.
Simulate the flow characteristics of volumetric pumps such as 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 pulsation 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 variation of flow field (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 achievements with oil pumps for automotive and construction machinery, such as vane pumps for power steering and CVTs, and trochoidal pumps for engine lubrication. *There is a lot of information that cannot be posted online. Especially, please see the actual mesh creation and movement in a demo presentation!!
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 work. (2) Fluid analysis of various gear pumps is possible! Simerics MP+ has mesh creation capabilities for various pumps, including different types of gear pumps, making it easy to perform calculations for a wide range of pumps. It also has mesh creation functionality 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, enabling the prediction of non-condensable gas expansion and vapor generation due to cavitation. (4) Calculation of free surface flow It is now possible to analyze oil scraping within the gearbox and oil suction from the oil pan during pump startup.

Applications/Examples of results
Simerics MP+ is primarily used by automotive manufacturers and automotive-related parts manufacturers in Japan, with numerous achievements in applications such as oil pumps used in 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 computation 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. 【CFD Analysis for Predicting the Characteristics of Vane Pumps】 https://www.kyb.co.jp/technical_report/data/no53j/03_technology_explanation_01.pdf
