Mechanical Seals Design

SimMS Software

Optimize your Mechanical Seals design with precision using a dedicated engineering software

SimMS, Design of Mechanical Seals

SimMS (Simulation of Mechanical Seals) is an online software dedicated to the design of Mechanical Seals.

In a Mechanical Seal, the thin lubricating film and the seal rings behavior are strongly coupled by many physical interacting phenomena. SimMS offers a simple solution to solve this complex problem.

The mathematical model of SimMS is based on several years of scientific research on tribology and lubrication of Mechanical Seals.

Design of Mechanical Seals with a Multi-Physical Software

A multi-physical approach is needed to obtain accurate predictions of the seal performance including the leakage rate or the dissipated power. The standard engineering software are unsuitable for Mechanical Seals Calculations.

WHAT YOU CAN CALCULATE
Leakage rate
Dissipated power
Distance of the seal rings
Thermomechanical deformations
Pressure and temperature fields
Temperature in the solids
Lubricating film thickness
Contact and fluid forces
Viscous and dry friction torques
WHAT IS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT
Thermomechanical loading
Seal rings material
Sealed fluid properties
Liquid or gas lubrication
Flow regime (laminar or turbulent)
Cavitation
Centrifugal inertia
Roughness and waviness surfaces
Spiral Grooves
Scientifically Relevant

The physical engine of SimMS is produced and maintained by a senior scientist, expert in tribology and Mechanical Seals design.

Easy to use

With SimMS, you can obtain easily common outputs such as leakage rate or power dissipation.

Available

SimMS is usable directly online with an internet connection from different media (PC, tablet or mobile)

Noël Brunetière, senior scientist in tribology, expert in Mechanical Seals design

"SimMS is aimed at professionals who have needs and requirements in terms of Mechanical Seals expertise. Already used by certain large industrial groups, our objective is now to widely distribute SimMS by relying on SaaS (Software as a Service) distribution to make SimMS a benchmark in Mechanical Seals design calculations."
