What is Particleworks?

Particleworks is the leading software for simulating the movement of fluids. Our cutting-edge, particle-based simulator makes it easy to create and analyze 3D models in a variety of industrial contexts ‒ from oil sloshing and cooling for the automotive industry to mixing and kneading for medicine and plastics.
With an intuitive interface, an ultra-fast solver, and powerful visualization tools, Particleworks gives you all the tools you need to analyze motion in order to optimize your engineering process.

Cutting-Edge Research

Particleworks utilizes the latest research by Dr.Seiichi Koshizuka of the University of Tokyo’s Graduate School of Engineering, developer of the MPS method and founder of Prometech Software. Since 2009, it has offered engineers innovative solutions to a wide range of industrial problems. Today, Particleworks continues to gain new simulation capabilities through research conducted within companies and university laboratories across Japan.

No Meshing Needed

Particleworks lets you import files directly from CAD software, so you can avoid the expensive mesh generation needed for conventional CFD software.

No need to do complicated and repetitive mesh generation, you can set up calculation intuitively.

Splash and Free-Surface Flow

Particleworks analyzes the motion of fluids by dividing them into sets of discrete elements or particles, which are allowed to move freely. This approach lets you simulate large deformation, coalescence and segmentation of fluid, and rapid change of flow ‒ without requiring any complicated preparation or meshing in advance.
Particleworks provides excellent performance in the simulation of moving boundary problems, which can be a time-consuming task with conventional methods. When dealing with complex structures such as gears and impellers, the software first translates these structures to polygon models, making it simple to apply detailed movement settings.

Flexible Multi-Body Integration

Particleworks makes it easy to simulate interactions between fluids and powders, or between fluids and rigid bodies, with no complicated settings required. You can even carry out coupled simulations with Particleworks and third-party software, with no need for meshing.

Accelerated Simulation Supporting Today’s Latest Hardware

Particleworks makes the most of the latest hardware environments, supporting multithreading (OpenMP) and multiprocessing (MPI), in addition to SSE/AVX instructions on CPUs.

NVIDIA CUDA Support

Particleworks has been recognized by NVIDIA as a program that harnesses the power of NVIDIA’s CUDA, a GPU parallel-computing platform and application-programming model that offers overwhelming performance gains in parallel computing.
