PDM Analysis announced a new collaboration with Gamma Technologies to assimilate its capabilities to address complex and diverse challenges in the applications of screw compressors, expanders and pumps modelling. Illinois-based Gamma Technologies, known for GT-SUITE, the leading CAE platform for multi-physics system simulations, will leverage PDM’s expertise on modelling, analysis and design of rotary screw positive displacement machines to expand capacity and influence in the global market. The partnership will more specifically involve integration of GT-SUITE with SCORG, the specialist grid generation and simulation software.
With this partnership, PDM broadens its array of proven applications for the compressor, expander and pump industries but is also looking into expanding in the automotive market where such machines are often used. This collaboration includes a commitment from both parties to work together to create a highly specialised and integrated system solution.
The integrated software solution will enable optimized and high-fidelity multi-chamber and system level modelling of screw type machines enhanced with GT-SUITE’s multi-physics modelling for transient fluids, thermal management, friction, lubrication, structural and thermal FE, acoustics, and controls. Its applications will be in screw compressors, expanders, pumps and motors within refrigeration and air conditioning, air applications, oil and gas, process industries, automotive and other related markets.
PDM Analysis Ltd. is an established leader in modelling, analysis and design ofrotary positive displacement machines. Originating from City, University of London, PDM Analysis Ltd. has pioneered use of CFD for screw machines and has a rich proven track record, gained over several years, of meeting the complex and diverse information needs of manufacturers and users of screw machines. PDM Analysis is based in London, UK.
Gamma Technologies LLC. develops and licenses GT-SUITE, a leading multi-physics CAE system simulation software. GT-SUITE includes a complete library of physics-based modelling templates covering fluid flow, thermal systems, mechanics, electrics, magnetics, chemistry and controls. It supports the entire development cycle from concept to validation thanks to its modular architecture, adjustable model fidelity and open interface. GT-SUITE applications include a wide variety of engineering systems such as conventional and hybrid vehicles, powertrains and drivelines, engines, motors, compressors, catalysts, chemistry, acoustics, cooling, thermal management, HVAC, hydraulics, fuel systems, lubrication, mechanical systems, etc.
