As part of the R2026x FD02 user assistance, SIMULIA R&D created a 3DEXPERIENCE example that teaches you how to use a model of a ship's propeller model to create the surrounding fluid flow volumes and run a transient flow simulation on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
While completing this tutorial, you learn how to:
- Transfer a SOLIDWORKS part to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform as a physical product.
- Define and extract fluid flow regions for a geometry-based flow volume analysis.
- Specify common simulation features, such as the multiphase physics domain, the rotating zone, and the boundary conditions.
- Tune meshing parameters, and generate a mesh for inspection before the full analysis.
- View and interpret the results of the simulation.
You can apply this type of workflow to your own model and scenario.
To complete this example, you must have access to the Geometry Idealization Essentials, Fluid Scenario Creation, and Physics Results Explorer apps.
To try this example yourself, see Cavitation of a Ship Propeller.
Thank you to @AJ, @XZ, @SK, @DW, and Veronica CARUSO for all their effort in bringing this example to life!
