How fast a heated brake system cools down (cooldown) and how the temperatures of different brake parts change in time as the system repeatedly heats up and cools down (drive cycle) can be simulated in the brake cooldown and drive cycle workflows, respectively, using PowerFLOW and PowerTHERM. In both workflows, once the convective cooling effects are accurately assessed in coupled PowerFLOW-PowerTHERM simulation(s), it is required to update the model parameters for a transient thermal simulation. This step involves changes in boundary conditions and additional modeling setups according to the simulation Best Practices. The Brake Cooling Script can simplify this otherwise tedious and error prone process by automatically generating the simulation-ready transient thermal model based on the results of preceding coupled simulation(s) and additional data in the input text files.

In this posting, two versions are provided: in v1.3d the input format of earlier 1.3 versions is retained with a few bug fixes, whereas in the latest v2.0 the usability is greatly improved and more general input scenarios are supported. More detailed information is available in the user’s guide as well as in the body of shell script/input files. Please feel free to contact me for any questions, issues or feedback.
