Session Abstracts

June 10th: New Features in 3.4.

This presentation will provide current users of PumpLinx and Simerics MP with an overview of the new features of the latest software release, Version 3.4. The presentation will include instructions on where and how to download the relevant files and an introduction to the new help files and tutorials. Examples of the new general mesher capabilities will be provided as well as an overview of other common features. In addition, new capabilities pertaining specifically to the PumpLinx Templates (e.g. vane, piston, gerotor, etc. ) will be provided along with recommendations for best practices.

June 24th: PumpLinx for Axial/Centrifugal Pumps

Advanced techniques and recommended practices for the simulation of axial/centrifugal pumps are provided. These techniques are relevant regardless of the industry or application. The importance of transient simulation is discussed and demonstrated. The importance and recommended approach for modeling leakage paths and fine details are presented. Mesh methods and the resolution of boundary layers are addressed along with other frequently asked questions. Finally, post-processing is addressed with emphasis on how to evaluate loads, efficiencies, and identify loss mechanism.
