Faster CFD Analysis - Easier CFD Simulation

Automotive

Simerics predicts the performance vehicle components in many ways including, but not limited to, complete fluid systems, pumps, valves, torque converters, gearboxes, turbochargers, turbomachinery, under-hood thermal management and aerodynamics (internal and external). Simerics also supports analyses for HVAC, tank/container sloshing/filling, plenum drainage, water fording, windshield de-icing etc.

External Flow - Aerodynamics

Simerics can be effectively used to predict external and internal (e.g. under-hood) aerodynamic drag and has been validated by comparison with classic data such as the Ahmed body. The advantage of using Simerics-MP+ for aerodynamics is the ease and ability of the general mesher to create a mesh, even for a “dirty” geometry, and the speed of the simulation which has been reported to be 10-30 times faster that the competition.

Underhood Flow

Simerics can very effectively be used to provide accurate virtual testing for the analysis of the vehicle under-hood thermal management system, various performance parameters corresponding to the vehicle aerodynamics, HVAC etc. Multiphase vehicle applications include fuel tank sloshing/filling, plenum drainage, water fording, windshield de-icing etc.

    Excellent correlation with test data over the full operating range.
  • Super-fast model creation
    No CAD clean up, model creation for a whole vehicle from original CAD geometry in 2-3 hours with accurate representation of the geometry.

Design Issues/Benefits:​

  • Accurate Results:
    Simerics-MP+ for Systems consistently provides simulation predictions that are within 5% of physical hardware test results over the full operating range. (Testimonial)
  • Superior Cavitation/Aeration Module:
    Simerics-MP+ for Systems rigorously and independently accounts for the formation, transport, and effects of non-condensable gases (e.g. air) and cavitation vapor, as opposed to using a lumped effective
  • Fast Calculation Times:
    Simerics-MP+ for Systems has repeatedly been shown to be significantly faster than other commercial codes, enabling more complex simulations. (Testimonial)
  • Robust Solver:
    Simerics-MP+ for Systems is able to converge extremely difficult problems, even those with detailed micro-scale features and/or severe cavitation.
  • Ease of Use:
    Less than 30 minutes is typically required to create each component with the aid of templates, automated mesh generation and a single GUI for set-up, simulation, and post-processing.(Testimonial)
  • Virtually Unlimited Support:
    Simerics-MP+ for Systems comes with extensive training and virtually unlimited support in helping set-up systems. (Testimonial)
