Meshfree liquid flow simulation software
Particleworks is a CAE software for the simulation of liquid flows based on the Moving Particle Simulation method.
The mesh-less solver and the intuitive interface make the simulation process simple and fast even for complex geometries with moving parts, like gears and shafts in a complete transmission or in an engine.
The Navier-Stokes solver is based on a deterministic Lagrangian method.
Particleworks is widely used in different industrial sectors, from automotive and aerospace to consumer goods, from power generation to the Food & Beverage industry.

"By using Particleworks we were able to evaluate the cooling performance of the piston effectively, which we had not been able to simulate well before, and we could determine guidelines for optimal piston cooling design”
Developing new passive lubrication systems with reduced churning losses is one of the current challenges for the automotive industry.
For coolant flow simulations in electric motors, a new simulation technique was applied using the Moving Particle Semi-implicit (MPS) method.
With Particleworks we were able to increase our productivity by ten times
We run more what if analysis that we were not able to do before with a traditional CFD solver.
We are definitely reducing physical tests. We still do physical tests. We have axle housings that are made of transparent plastic, so we can see the flow. But, we have reduced the number of physical tests quite a bit using Particleworks software.
Before we used Particleworks, we used a traditional method that used finite volume. We had difficulty creating the mesh and defining the moving boundaries.
We had one day of training and that was good
With a traditional CFD solver we had to offset the gears so we wouldn’t have squeeze. With Particleworks we didn’t have to do any of that
We have compared the results from Particleworks to our conventional CFD, and qualitatively, the fluid flow looks the same. Also, we can qualify the flow rates across some cross sections and they look the same. In addition, our European colleagues have done a test correlation with Particleworks by measuring flow rates, and results were in the same ballpark.
