Strong fluid analysis software for valves, 'Simerics MP+'.

Simulate the flow characteristics of valves and volumetric pumps! A CFD software specialized for valves and pumps that other CFD software struggles with!

Simerics MP+ is a fluid simulation tool designed to calculate the transient characteristics of various valves, volumetric pumps, and compressors. 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 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!! In addition to valve analysis, there has been an increase in achievements for automotive and construction machinery oil pumps, such as vane pumps for power steering and CVTs, and trochoidal pumps for engine lubrication. *There is a lot of information that cannot be published online. Especially, please see a demo presentation for 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 that involve 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 valves and gear pumps is possible! Simerics MP+ has an automatic mesh creation function for various valves and pumps, making it easy to perform calculations for a wide range of valves and pumps, including calculations for flow paths that contain valves, and coupled analysis is also possible. (3) More accurate modeling of aeration/cavitation! It includes a high-precision cavitation model, allowing for the prediction of the expansion of non-condensable gases and the generation of vapor 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 possible to analyze the oil lifting inside 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 a proven track record in various valves, oil pumps used in automotive automatic transmissions (AT) and continuously variable transmissions (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 chosen to purchase Simerics MP+ for its user-friendliness, improved accuracy, and reduced calculation time in the analysis of valves, gear pumps, vane pumps, and other volumetric 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. 【Prediction of Vane Pump Characteristics through CFD Analysis】 https://www.kyb.co.jp/technical_report/data/no53j/03_technology_explanation_01.pdf
