CFD Mesh guide
CFD Mesh guide The mesh phase is probably the most critical phase of a CFD simulation. Most of the times a CFD simulation fails is because of poor mesh quality, and even is boundary conditions errors are possible those are usually very easy to fix. The convergence and quality of a CFD simulation is directly […]
SimWorks features
SimWorks features Please find below a list of all the SimWorks features and capabilities, from the basic ones to the most advanced. SimWorks supports multiple and concurrent simulations and you will find below the links to some of the tutorials covering those aspects. Multiple simulations (4hrs) – SimWorks supports multiple and concurrent simulations with specific features […]
SimWorks course
SimWorks course Congratulations for having installed SimWorks, this course includes a collection of guides and tutorials to bring you up to speed with the software. This course is intended for people who are new to SimWorks and covers from the basic commands to the most advanced features. Each section has specific goals and a rough […]
Mesh reuse and simulation extension
Mesh reuse and simulation extension functionalities This tutorial is based on the glider plane SimWorks tutorial to analyse the mesh reuse capability of SimWorks which allows to duplicate a completed simulation, change some parameters and complete a new simulation without the need to repeat the long meshing phase. Also we will cover the possibility within SimWorks of extending a completed […]
Rotating mesh CFD analysis
Rotating mesh CFD analysis In many engineering applications it is important to simulate the flow around a rotating component. Typical applications are the simulation of flow around propellers, wind turbines or mixing vessels. This tutorial shows the application of the rotating mesh CFD analysis to the simulation of a mixing vessel and the impact the […]
Multiple Reference Frame (MRF) CFD analysis
Rotating mesh CFD analysis using the MRF approach We have seen in the Mixing Vessel tutorial how to setup a physical mesh rotation of the impeller in the mixing vessel. While this is the best approach to simulate rotating bodies, it is also computationally expensive. If we are more interested in the effect of the […]
Porous media in a pipe
Porous media to simulate a filter placed inside a pipe In many engineering applications porous media like radiators, filters or vents in the flow will create a blockage or a pressure drop on the flow itself. While i is possible to model them explicitly meshing every detail of the element, this would require an extremely […]
2D CFD analysis of internal flows
2D CFD analysis SimWorks cannot perform pure 2D CFD analysis, however it is possible to run a quasi-2D simulation using an extruded 3D geometry and a specific set of boundary conditions on the outer domain. Moreover, it is possible to use an outer domain smaller than the geometry itself to define an internal flow analysis, […]
SimWorks Advanced Introduction
Introduction to SimWorks (advanced features) This tutorial introduced some new functionalities of SimWorks and expands what has been already described in the SimWorks introduction tutorial. If you have not done it yet, we strongly recommend reading the introduction tutorial before proceeding futher. Create a new simulation Create a single simulation within a Geometry In the […]
