PDSim is a software package developed to enable quasi-steady simulation of positive displacement compressors and expanders.  

It was written in Python by `Ian Bell <http://www.BellThermal.com>`_ with assistance from Craig Bradshaw.  Development is ongoing, particularly of functionality for scroll compressors and expanders.

Windows users can download a graphical user interface by going here: `PDSim GUI <https://sourceforge.net/projects/pdsim/files/>`_

PDSim is an open-source project and welcomes the assistance of other researchers, developers, or anyone generally interested in compressors.
