Software for filtration applications

Software for filtration applications

In order to support the manufacturers of filter elements in the analysis and optimization, customized models and software solutions are developed at the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM. Together with the microscale simulation tool GeoDict the company Math2Market filtration processes can be simulated on almost all scales.

Since 2002, the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics has developed models and numerical methods which assist the engineers in the design of filter elements. This expertise has flown into FiltEST, the Filter Element Simulation Toolbox. FiltEST enables designers of filter elements to have a computer-aided assessment of the performance properties of an element’s design at a very early stage of the developmental process. It provides modules for importing CAD geometries, computing the flow field in the element and the filtration efficiency during operation of the device. The simulation results are exported to file formats for effective 3D visualization and post-processing.

FiltEST and GeoDict can be coupled such that the filtration process at both the micro- and the macroscale can be simulated hand in hand. GeoDict and FIltEST are major cornerstones towards the virtual design of filter materials and filter elements.
