As part of the R2025x FD03 user assistance, SIMULIA R&D updated a 3DEXPERIENCE example that teaches you how to define and run a simulation that models the fluid flow inside of an airduct. In this example, you define a fluid flow simulation using a geometry-based volume definition, and you then model the airflow in the duct to assess its efficiency. To define, run, and evaluate this simulation, you use the following apps:
- Geometry Idealization Essentials
- Fluid Scenario Creation
- Physics Results Explorer
While completing this example, you learn how to create an interior volume for use in a fluid simulation. You then learn how to define a gaseous physics domain for the airduct contents. To define the airflow direction, you learn how to use a velocity inlet and pressure outlet. After running a simulation that predicts the airflow in the duct, you review pressure and velocity results to pinpoint areas of the duct that can be redesigned.
You can use what you learn in this example to leverage geometry-based volume definitions in your own fluid flow simulations.
To try this example yourself, see Analysis of Airflow through a Duct.
Thanks to Jessica JACYNO for all her efforts in bringing this example to life!
