Thursday 26 November 2026, 15:00 CET. Gearbox thermal chains, materials DoE and automatic reports, driven by script and AI agents.
The workshop method in the morning. In the afternoon we build the scripts and automation for your own simulations, and they stay with you.

Technology
A revolutionary meshfree CFD solver that transforms how engineers simulate complex fluid dynamics
No mesh generation needed. Import your CAD geometry and start simulating immediately. Complex moving parts, free surfaces and multi-phase flows are handled naturally.
The Navier-Stokes solver is based on Moving Particle Simulation, a deterministic Lagrangian method for fluid flow, heat transfer and granular interaction.
Used across automotive, aerospace, consumer goods, power generation and food & beverage industries for lubrication, cooling, sloshing and mixing applications.
Hewland Engineering testimonial
ROI Calculator
Traditional CFD workflows require weeks of mesh generation and computation. Particleworks eliminates meshing entirely, delivering results in a fraction of the time.
“Typically we would go from CAD to test in around ten to twelve weeks. With Particleworks we can do that in three days.”

Methodology
Traditional mesh-based CFD, compressible particle CFD, and incompressible particle CFD — three approaches, very different trade-offs.
| Feature | FVM (Fluent / OpenFOAM) | SPH (compressible) | MPS (Particleworks) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discretization | Mesh / control volumes | Meshfree particles + kernel | Meshfree particles + kernel No mesh |
| Frame of reference | Eulerian | Lagrangian | Lagrangian |
| Pressure solver | SIMPLE / PISO (iterative) | Explicit EOS (Tait) | Pressure Poisson, semi-implicit Smooth |
| Compressibility | Configurable | Weakly compressible | Fully incompressible |
| Preprocessing time | Hours to weeks (meshing) | < 10 min | < 10 min Fastest |
| Time-step Δt (h=1mm, U=5m/s) | ~ 1×10⁻⁵ s (velocity CFL) | ~ 2×10⁻⁶ s (sound-speed CFL) | ~ 5×10⁻⁴ s (velocity only) ~250× SPH |
| Free surface | VOF / Level-set (diffusive) | Intrinsic, sharp | Intrinsic, sharp |
| Moving / rotating parts | Overset / sliding mesh | Native | Native 6-DOF |
| Best-fit domain | Aero, compressible, steady bulk | Astrophysics, ballistics, dam-break | Industrial incompressible: oil jets, churning, sloshing, mixing, cooling, lubrication |
