In this study, we compared the VacCAD and VacSim^(Multi), commercial vacuum simulators, to verify the advantages of VacCAD's efficiency. It was emphasized on immediacy and simplicity of simulation modelling, and characteristics of the pump combinations, pumping down curves, and vacuum materials. First, usability of simulation mechanism was estimated through the modeling schematics and obtained simulation results of each employed simulator were compared to evaluate the applicability in practice. Simulation reliability of each simulator was also probed by comparing the pumping characteristics of commercially available high vacuum systems. In addition, the degree of tolerances on VacCAD was also investigated through pumping down analysis considering outgassing effect due to chamber material variations. The higher effectiveness and expediency of VacCAD than VacSim^(Multi) has been presented, and it was expected that the utilization of VacCAD in vacuum applications to be increased.

In this study, we compared the VacCAD and VacTran, commercial vacuum simulators, to investigate the simulation applicability and efficiency as vacuum simulation software. It was verified on reliability and simplicity of simulation modelling, and characteristics of the pump combinations, pumping down curves, and employed vacuum materials. First, usability of simulation schematics was estimated through the modeling tools and the overall simulation characteristics of each simulator were compared to evaluate the applicability in practice. Simulation reliability of each simulator was also probed by comparing the pumping performance characteristics of commercial high vacuum system models. In addition, the degree of tolerances on both simulators was also evaluated through pumping down analysis considering outgassing effect due to chamber material variations. The higher effectiveness and expediency of VacCAD than VacTran has been presented, and it was also expected that the utilization of VacTan in vacuum applications to be increased due to the higher availability of modelling variations.

In this paper, we simulated three different HV systems and analyzed of each vacuum characteristics by VacCAD modelling. In each of modelled vacuum systems, selection of chamber materials, combination of rough pump with high vacuum pump and conductance of roughing line (diameter and length) were proposed as system variables. In the modelling of chamber materials, the pumping times to ultimate pressures of different chamber materials (stainless steel, aluminum) were compared by the variations of chamber volume. In this model, the effects of outgassing dependent on the chamber materials was also simulated and aluminum was estimated to optimum chamber materials. It was also obtained that modelling of vane and roots pump with diffusion pump and diameter, length of $50{\times}250$ [mm]roughing line were characterized as optimum variables to reach the ultimate pressure of 10E-7 [mbar] most effectively. Optimum design factors for vacuum characteristics of modelled vacuum system were achieved by VacCAD simulations. Feasibility of VacCAD as vacuum simulator was verified and applications of VacCAD expected to be increased to fields in vacuum needed.
