Particleworks

Particleworks ist ein Produkt der Prometech Software, Inc.

Die Gittergenerierung bei der numerischen Strömungssimulation (Computational Fluid Dynamics - CFD) ist ein sehr aufwendiger Prozess, der mehrere Wochen in Anspruch nehmen kann. Auch die Berechnung der instationären Strömung selbst bringt einen großen Zeitaufwand mit sich. Diese enormen Zeitaufwände lassen sich aufgrund der immer kürzer getakteten Time-to-Market-Intervalle und verkürzten Produktentstehungszyklen heutzutage kaum noch umsetzen.

Particleworks greift diese Probleme mit seiner Moving Particle Simulation (MPS) Methode auf und ermöglicht dank der implementierten vernetzungsfreien Methodik eine Aufwandsreduktion von fast 90%. Die vielfältigen Anwendungsgebiete erlauben es, innerhalb kürzester Zeit detaillierte Berechnungen durchzuführen und Ihre CFD-Projekte grundlegend zu optimieren. Der Wegfall der Netzerstellung bei der Strömungssimulation in Particleworks lässt die Produktentstehung nicht nur kostengünstiger und effizienter ausfallen, sondern überzeugt auch durch eine deutlich verbesserte Benutzeroberfläche, vereinfachte Handhabung und anschauliche Visualisierungsoptionen.

  Schnelles und einfaches Pre-Processing - signifikante Zeitersparnis bis zu 90%

  Easy to Use - Intuitive Definition von Randbedingungen und Kinematik

  Kurze Simulationszeiten - Unterstützung von GPU High Performance Computing

  Robuste Methode zur Berechnung von Flüssigkeiten mit freien Oberflächen

  Leistungsstarke Analysetool

  Realistische Visualisierung

Particleworks – detaillierte CFD leicht gemacht!

Particleworks ist eine Strömungssimulations-Software (CFD-Software), die auf der innovativen numerischen Methode der Moving Particle Simulation (MPS) beruht. Particleworks wird von EnginSoft europaweit unterstützt und vertrieben und bietet durch den Wegfall des Vernetzungsprozesses in der Methodik signifikante Einsparmöglichkeit in den Turnaround-Zeiten der Simulationen und damit auch in den Entwicklungskosten. Für konventionelle CFD-Tools schwierige Fragestellungen, wie Free-Surface Flows, lassen sich mit Particleworks ohne Einsatz übermäßiger Rechnerressourcen beantworten. Für CFD-Anwender bietet Particleworks einen robusten und intuitiven Workflow und trägt so zu einem effizienteren CAE-Prozess bei. Schlussendlich kann durch diese MPS-Software die notwenige Anzahl physischer Prototypen auf ein Minimum reduziert, und somit Kosten gespart werden.

Futurities: 2023 special issue on Particleworks

Moving Particle Simulation (MPS) is a meshless method of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) specifically conceived to analyse liquid flows, from the most common liquids like water and oil, to the most complex ones such as highly viscous consumer products, adhesives, polymers, and foods or even semi-solid materials like grease or organic waste.

This publication is a collection of papers addressing different industrial sectors and covering applications ranging from lubrication of transmissions, cooling of engines, prevention of aquaplaning, and fire extinguishing, to the electrification of mobility solutions and the study of snow drifts.
