Evaluation of PumpLinx® by HMS Group Published in World Pumps.

HMS Group Russia conducted an evaluation of PumpLinx in comparison with test data for several of their centrifugal and mixed-flow pumps. Selected results are presented in the article “Cost cutting with pump performance prediction”, published in the July/August 2013 edition of World Pumps . A copy of the article is available via the World Pumps’ download site.

Based on the evaluation, HMS had the following testimonial for PumpLinx,

“PumpLinx for me has surpassed all expectations: 3D model preparation – 2 hours maximum, 1 hour on average. No problems with mesh creation – always created and there are no errors in the calculations because of the quality of the grid. Calculation of the first characteristic point is no more than 10-30 minutes, which is 10-30 times faster than our main program. Accuracy of the calculation for the pressure and for the efficiency in the range of 1% to 3% max (in the operating range of feeds, and for one pump and throughout the feature). To sum up the total: a great program for the engineer;quick and easy; Overall evaluation of 9 out of 10 (with 10 being a perfect virtual [Score])”

Testimonials

Simerics-MP+ Testimonial from DM8 Composites “For new CFD users like us, Simerics-MP+ for Marine is the perfect package! It provides a smooth and robust CAD to CFD workflow in less than 7 steps along with zero CAD

Simerics-MP+ Testimonial from HSMarine “We have been using Simerics-MP+ at HSMarine Propulsion for the past two years. It has proved to be a very streamlined and robust CFD tool to run ship hull and propeller or waterjet simulations. Geometry

“Simerics-MP for me has surpassed all expectation….great program for the engineer: quick and easy”

“Simerics-MP+ has enabled our engineering team to accurately simulate performance of GenShock and its internal design features. It is delivering more accurate results for our hydraulic pump and valve modeling efforts than previous CFD packages, saving us time and money.”

“The use of Simerics-MP has validated the solution to our cavitation issue and provided us with a greater understanding of the dynamic fluid stresses within our pumps.”
