6.0.1 Template Capabilities
The templates in Simerics-MP+ have special features and capabilities. They are listed as follows:
- Multiple templates can be used for a system level simulation. For example, Gerotor and Valve templates are used in a lubrication system simulation.
- Micron level leakage (uniform or nonuniform) gaps are modelled using templates.
- Better control of mesh with good quality and optimum cell count using templates.
- Dynamic motion of valves can be modelled using force balance or prescribed motion.
- Gerotor template supports two different shaft types: Fixed and Orbiting.
- Gerotor and External Gear templates support helical and worm gear profiles other than the standard spur gear profile.
- Vane pump template supports fixed, variable, and balanced type of pumps.
- Variable vane pump template supports both translation and rotational type of slider motion.
- Swash Plate piston pump can be modelled including piston slipper, variable plate angle and different leakage gaps.
