General-purpose thermal fluid analysis software 'Simerics MP+'
It is possible to perform everything from mesh generation to analysis and post-processing in the same environment!
Simerics MP+ is a fluid analysis software designed to calculate the transient characteristics of various volumetric pumps, compressors, and valves. It is developed based on the thermal fluid analysis software 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 field (velocity vectors, pressure), flow rate, fluid forces, and torque The biggest strength is the ability to automatically create meshes even for clearances in the µm range, which is difficult with other general-purpose fluid analysis software!! Recently, there has been an increase in achievements 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, please see a demo for the actual mesh creation and movement!!
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, enabling the prediction of non-condensable gas expansion and vapor generation due to cavitation. (4) Calculation of free surface flow As a new feature, the calculation of free surface flow has become possible. It is now also possible to analyze oil splashing inside the gearbox and 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 oil pumps used in automotive AT and CVT, as well as engine oil pumps. Additionally, it has a wide range of implementation results not only in the automotive industry but also globally. Examples of achievements worldwide by the developer can be found at: http://www.simerics.com/testimonials/ There are many cases where companies that have already purchased multiple fluid analysis software domestically, as well as those overseas, have acquired it for the ease of use, accuracy improvement, and reduction of 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.

Online seminar on the utilization of the latest thermal fluid analysis software and turbo design software.
Wavefront Inc. will hold an online seminar titled "Utilization of the Latest Thermal Fluid Analysis Software and Turbo Design Software"! In recent years, various initiatives have been undertaken to achieve a carbon-neutral society. For example, in the automotive industry, with the further promotion of electrification, energy conservation, and efficiency, there is a growing demand for thermal fluid analysis, including cooling simulations for electric motors (water cooling/oil cooling) and oil agitation simulations for planetary gear mechanisms used in EVs/HEVs. In this seminar, we will introduce the thermal fluid analysis software "Simerics MP+" specialized for these complex simulations! Additionally, the construction of small hydropower plants contributing to sustainable renewable energy supply is becoming increasingly active. Since installation locations are not limited as long as there is a drop and flow, many potential development sites remain, and many companies are entering this field. We will also introduce the turbo design software "CFturbo," which serves as a stepping stone for those involved in small hydropower generation to increase turbine efficiency while reducing design time and costs, as further proliferation and diversification of small hydropower generation is anticipated!
