Simerics Inc. is proud to announce the release of PumpLinx® Version v3.2. PumpLinx® is a CFD simulation tool with unique capabilities for virtual testing of fluid pumps, motors, compressors, valves, and systems with rotating and/or sliding components. Starting with a 3-D CAD design, PumpLinx® enables the engineer to create a virtual test article and generate flow visualization and engineering output similar in accuracy to full scale hardware test at a fraction of the time and cost.

The newly released PumpLinx® v3.2 has expanded capabilities including:

Core Capabilities 

 Heat, Flow, Turbulence

 Aeration and Cavitation

 Cavitation Damage Model

 1-DOF FSI (Linear and Rotational)

 Particle Tracking

Pumps/Motors/Compressors Templates 

 Axial / Centrifugal / Mixed Flow

 Piston: Bent Axis / Radial / Swashplate

 Crescent / Gerotor

 External Gear

 Vane: Balanced / Fixed / Variable Displacement

 Progressive Cavity

 Scroll

Dynamic Valve Predictions 

 Spool / Ball / Axial / Circumferential

Extensive 3-D System Modeling
