We offer a range of validated simulation tools for tribology and dynamics of mechanical components. They are deployed as our flagship standalone software (TriboDENS PHENIX) or add-on libraries on other software platforms.
All friction and wear modellers can directly obtain data from surface topography measurement machines and rheometers.
TriboDENS PHENIX™ is an advanced mechanical component and contact lubrication modelling. Bearings, gears and seals are examples of components. Elastohydrodynamic (EHL), hydrodynamic, boundary lubrication contacts can also be analysed.
Detailed contact analysis includes friction calculation, wear analysis, life prediction and multi-objective optimisation for lubricated contacts. Generic surface profile and rheology measurements can be imported directly from measurement machines.
Our software includes extensive lubricant, material, and real surface libraries, allowing users to work with highly detailed and accurate data. Surface topography measurements can be directly imported from widely used microscopes, ensuring seamless integration and precise analysis for advanced research and engineering applications.
▶
Gears, rolling element bearings, wheel-rail and many other applications are commonly in EHL regimes of lubrication. Simulation of these conditions with varying load, fluid type and temperature is important for reliable system design.
TriboDENS-PHENIX can model the film thickness, pressure, temperature, friction and performance of lubricated contacts while using measured surface and lubricant data.
▶
Journal bearings are one of the oldest and most commonly used machine components. Their applications include engines, turbines, compressors and transmission systems.
TriboDENS-PHENIX simulates journal bearing performance for different operating speeds, loads, clearances, lubricant properties and temperatures.
▶
Hydrodynamic contacts are commonly found in lubrication, manufacturing and metal-forming processes. Their behaviour depends on speed, geometry, lubricant properties and loading.
TriboDENS-PHENIX provides detailed predictions of pressure, film thickness, friction and performance for generic hydrodynamic contacts.
▶
The geometry and sliding conditions in hypoid gears make contact analysis particularly demanding. Accurate simulation helps engineers understand efficiency, friction and wear.
TriboDENS-PHENIX rapidly calculates the operating conditions and lubrication performance of hypoid gear contacts.
▶
Piston-ring conjunctions are responsible for significant friction and energy loss in internal combustion engines. Their behaviour changes throughout the engine cycle.
TriboDENS-PHENIX calculates pressure, film thickness, friction, wear and lubrication conditions using realistic operating and surface data.
