EnginSoft are UK distributors for Particleworks, an advanced mesh-free CFD solution for complex
and resource demanding designs.
Home:
Discover the Particleworks solution, the leading software solution for fluid flow behaviour provided by EnginSoft UK Ltd. Particleworks is an advanced CFD Software solution, based on the Moving Particle Simulation (MPS) method proven to provide significant time and cost savings by eliminating the time consuming mesh generation that is required for traditional CFD software. EnginSoft experts have longstanding expertise in fluid dynamics, working with European OEMs and Tier 1’s with their product development and innovation to achieve improved accuracy and increase understanding of free surface flow.
We work with engineering teams that are:
- Struggling with sensible run times for CFD simulation
- Unable to meet customer expectations due to complex designs
- Facing budget and time pressure
- Hindered by physical testing
- Experiencing long and expensive development processes
Hear From Hewland
"Enginsoft and Particleworks stood out to us in terms of both the easy use of the software, the solve time and the support structure surrounding the software. That allows us the ability to deliver a right first time project"
What is the moving particle simulation (MPS)?
MPS - Moving Particle Simulation, historically referred to as Moving Particle Semi- implicit is a smarter approach to CFD.
Where traditional CFD takes the Eulerian approach of solving the Navier-Stokes equation (using a fixed mesh throughout the entire domain) to calculate the fluid flow, the MPS method instead takes the Lagrangian approach and calculates fluid flow from the point of view of the particles within the flow. In this way, the particles essentially act as their own grid which moves with the flow, meaning computation is only performed where fluid is present.
This method benefits from huge reductions in simulation time for free surface and fluid splashing simulations in comparison to traditional, mesh-based CFD. For lubrication and cooling challenges, Design Engineers are able to achieve accurate results faster using the MPS solution Particleworks in comparison to Smoothed-Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) based tools.
When you combine this with the capability to run simulations on multiple GPUs, simulation time can be reduced from weeks to only days, allowing Particleworks to be used as a design tool and not just a validation tool.
Mesh generation for traditional CFD can be a major bottleneck in the simulation process, sometimes taking weeks, especially in cases with complex motion. Since the MPS method requires no mesh, we can omit this step entirely allowing Design Engineers to go from CAD to simulation in less than one day and bringing the entire process from CAD to Results down from weeks/months to a matter of days.
