With the ever-increasing demands for improvements in screw machine performance and efficiency, engineers must optimize their designs. When selecting a design, it is important to consider not only the thermodynamic performance of the machine, but also the performance of the entire compressor system, including bearings, silencers, electric motors, and other components.
To further support these needs, GT-SCORG was introduced -combining the power of GT-SUITE, from Gamma Technologies, and SCORG, from PDM Analysis, to deliver advanced, system-level modelling and optimisation.
Join Doug Petrik from Gamma Technologies and world-renowned screw machine expert, Professor Ahmed Kovacevic from PDM Analysis, on May 20, 2025 to learn about:
- Challenges faced during screw machine design
- How to leverage GT-SUITE with GT-SCORG for rapid screw machine development
- Screw machine multi-physics, including friction, NVH, and thermal management
- Case studies using GT-SUITE for screw machine design and optimization
