Abstract 
Flow splits in pipes constitute an engineering problem common across many industries. CFD can play an important role in evaluating potential designs and enable engineers to make a physics-based design decision.
Using design and simulation tools in 3DEXPERIENCE, designers can create and validate parts digitally, maximizing product performance from the start and thus minimizing development costs.
Highlights:
- Flow-Driven Generative Design (GDF) enables designers to create a functional part, simulate it and extract a better topology to minimize pressure drop
- Structural Engineer role (SMU) enables the designer to test the part designed by the fluids designer in the same environment with strong collaborative features of 3DEXPERIENCE
- SIMULIA Fluid Dynamics Engineer role (FMK) allows more complex modelling and confirmation of design improvement. SIMULIA Optimization Engineer role (MDO) enables automation of design and simulation processes
- SIMULIA PowerFLOW, high-fidelity LBM CFD, was used to confirm the performance improvement offered by GDF
