Simerics Releases PumpLinx Version 2.5

By DE Editors

Simerics’ PumpLinx is designed to improve efficiency, minimize cavitation, control pressure ripple,  and reduce noise. Created for designers of pumps, motors, compressors,  propellers, and other fluid devices with rotating or sliding components,  PumpLinx is based on Simerics, general-purpose CFD simulation software.

PumpLinx enables the engineer to create a virtual test article and generate flow visualization and engineering output as accurate as a full-scale hardware test at a fraction of the time and cost. More than 10 pump templates are now available.

The software is now parallel, which means it is up to three times faster than its current speed. The new version includes a new rolling vane and radial piston template, a Linux version, and improvements in the cavitation and heat modules.
