Simerics® Advanced Training Classes in China

Two advanced PumpLinx training classes were held in the Hikey Shanghai and Beijing Offices on August 15, 2012 and August 21, 2012 respectively. Dr. Hui Ding from Simerics worked together with Hikey engineers to demonstrate to more than 100 engineers from various industries the advanced capacities of PumpLinx in solving real engineering problems.

In the course of the training, the engineers were introduced to the Simerics/PumpLinx simulation software. They were shown numerous validation cases and given hands-on training on how to set-up and run axial/centrifugal and positive displacement pumps. The later included the prediction of the valve dynamics for a Variable Displacement Vane Pump (VDVP). All who attended had the opportunity to experience directly the speed, ease-of-use and accuracy of PumpLinx.

Simerics Adds Progressive Cavity Pump Template to its PumpLinx® Software

Simerics has released the Progressive Cavity Pump Template for PumpLinx®, the CFD virtual test bed for pumps. Pump manufacturers rely on PumpLinx® to improve product performance, as well as to reduce cavitation, cavitation damage, and noise.

The PumpLinx® Progressive Cavity Pump Template now extends the virtual pump testing capabilities of PumpLinx® for progressive cavity pumps by modeling cavitation, pressure, and other flow dynamics for these numerically challenging pumps.

PumpLinx® provides a new approach that allows for fast and easy model set up, accuracy, and fast calculation speed, as well as automated grid generation and superior treatment of rotating-and sliding interfaces, and is able to model micron scale stator and rotor clearances.

To learn more about the new Progressive Cavity Template contact Simerics or call at 256-489-1480.
