It only takes 8 process steps
01
geometry
As a first step your CAD model ist getting imported. Here, the flow geometry is modeled and the model is optimized for the simulation. The geometry is closed, overlaps are removed and components are positioned cleanly in relation to each other.
02
volume
For a CFD calculation the negative image is needed. By extracting the inner volume, the fluid is represented as a separate component for later meshing.
03
mesh generation
The accuracy and speed of the simulation strongly depends on the quality of the mesh. For this purpose, we develop fine "meshes" that resolve local flow effects and turbulence.
04
define physics
Depending on the task, different physical models are used. The correct selection of the models and the corresponding parameters is crucial.
05
initial and boundary conditions
The initial and boundary conditions define the operating state of the component or system. All conditions must be specified as accurately as possible, provided they are known. Otherwise, estimates from many years of CFD simulations are used.
06
simulation
At this point the actual calculation of the flow, heat distribution, combustion, emissions and other factors takes place. The computation time depends on the number of CPU cores used, the complexity of the physics and the size of the model.
07
analysis
In this process step, the 3D representation of the results takes place. Streamlines, sectional planes, surfaces and much more can be displayed. This results in the "optical access" into the interior of the physical processes. The presentation of the results finally leads to the basis for improvement suggestions of your component.
08
innovations
After a successful analysis, the next part of the process starts seamlessly: The redefinition and execution of improvement proposals. These are made possible, for example, by adapting the geometry or the operating condition.
