I am pleased to invite you to hear my presentation on the Global 3DEXPERIENCE Modeling & Simulation Virtual Conference, on November 17.

My presentation:
As a long-standing PowerFLOW & SIMULIA Cloud customer, The Charles Machine Works Inc. has constantly tried to drive their designs with high fidelity and realistic simulations within the fluids domain. With similar intentions, The Charles Machine Works Inc. approached SIMULIA’s Industry Process Success team with the objective of maximizing the airflow through the heat exchangers in a new directional drill concept to optimize under-hood thermal performance. The Charles Machine Works Inc. was also curious to know how this influences the aero-acoustics of the machine, as the design moves progressively towards the optima in the study.
The shroud optimization workflow on SIMULIA Cloud uses the shroud shape parameters and fan immersion as variables to search the design space using stage-dependent algorithms to maximize the objective function. Since this is a single environment workflow, users can create simulation data points, submit these simulations and analyze preliminary results within the same environment.
After feeding the design parameters, constraints and objective into the workflow, 33 designs in total were evaluated over the course of the study in three stages – Design Space Creation, Design Space Exploration and Design Optimization. Although the objective of the study was to maximize the cooling airflow, each design was also monitored for its aero-acoustic performance. The best designs were then picked from the pseudo-Pareto front. At the end of the study, the design space was thoroughly searched with 33 data points at a fraction of the cost and turnaround time of executing physical tests.
