Simulation applications
The products and problems we simulate most often, grouped by the physics behind them. If yours is not listed, the same physics usually applies.
Fluid flow
- Valve simulationPressure drop, flow coefficient and cavitation risk.
- Pump impeller simulationHead, efficiency and cavitation risk.
- Turbomachinery simulationBlade passages, losses and flow turning.
- Rotating machinery simulationFans, mixers and other rotor-driven flow.
- Multiphase flow simulationFree surfaces, sloshing and two-phase flow.
- SPH simulationSplashing, oil churning and open-channel flow.
- Cyclone separator simulationSeparation, pressure drop and particle paths.
Thermal
Electromagnetic
Structural and dynamic
- Stress analysisLinear static and contact analysis: where stress peaks, how far it deflects and how load shares between parts.
- Non-linear analysisLarge deflection, yielding, rubber and changing contact, where linear results stop holding.
- Vibration and modal analysisNatural frequencies, mode shapes and forced response, kept clear of running speeds.
- Fatigue analysisWhere cracks would start under repeated load, and how many cycles the design will see through.
- Thermal stress analysisTemperature fields and the stress they cause, from mismatched materials to thermal cycling.
- Drop test and impact simulationPeak loads and deformation in a drop or impact, and which parts are at risk.
- Robotics simulationStiffness, vibration and joint loads.
- Drone simulationLift and drag, rotor flow and cooling.
