Webinar on integration of SCORG and Simerics-PD for analysis of positive displacement compressors

August 15, 2015 –PDM Analysis Ltd , the leader in providing fast and reliable analysis and design solutions for screw compressors, and Simerics, Inc., creators of 3D CFD simulation tools for high fidelity virtual testing of complex fluid systems, announced today a direct integration between SCORG and Simerics-PD.

SCORG^TM, developed by PDM Analysis, is specialized software for the design and analysis of screw compressors, pumps and motors. It offers unique capability to evaluate the performance and operation of these machines by use of Computational Fluid Dynamics and Thermodynamic Multi Chamber Model. It is designed to minimize efforts and maximize efficiency of the design process by enabling geometry analysis, preliminary thermodynamic evaluation and grid generation of the large number of positive displacement rotary machines with multiple rotor arrangements including:

Screw compressors with two or more rotors
Single phase and multiphase screw pumps with two and more rotors
Single phase and multiphase screw motors with two or more rotors
Roots Blowers
Hook and Claw Compressors, pumps and motors
Gear pumps and G-pumps
Progressive Cavity pumps
Rotary screw extruders

Simerics-PD, developed by Simerics is built on the strength of the proprietary numerical algorithms and physical models developed by Simerics with additional templates and capabilities developed specifically for positive displacement (PD) Compressors. Simerics-PD provides unsurpassed speed, accuracy, and numerical strength in simulating the heat transfer and fluid dynamics for a range of Compressors. For liquid systems, there is a Cavitation Module to account accurately for the effect of vapor, free gas and liquid compressibility.

Webinar: A webinar will be conducted on Wednesday, Sept 9, at 12:00AM eastern time US (1700 hrs UK) to showcase this integration as well as SCORG and Simerics-PD functionality. To pre-register for this webinar, click on “SCORG-Simerics PD Webinar” or contact Chris Langford directly at cl@simerics.com. Registration information will be sent to your e-mail address. The integration will also be available for demonstration at the PDM Analysis Ltd, Simerics Inc. and 80/20 Engineering booth at the 9^th International Conference on Compressors and their Systems, organized by City University London on September 7^th -9^th, 2015 at The Mermaid Conference Centre, Puddle Dock, Blackfriars, EC4V 3DB, London, United Kingdom.
