- Recommended Settings and Customizations for SimLab
  Define settings for nanoFluidX and SimLab connection.
- Export and Data Check
  Before exporting a model, the setup can be verified and checked for errors using the Data Check tool.
- Cleanup for SPH
  nanoFluidX does not require the same amount of cleanup for smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) as traditional CFD code, or even a FEM structural code.
- SPH Flow
  To prepare a nanoFluidX model, a smoothed-article hydrodynamics (SPH) flow solution must be defined in SimLab and dedicated to nanoFluidX.

Pre-processing

Create a nanoFluidX model using SimLab.

SimLab is a Multiphysics pre-processor, available in the HyperWorks suite. Minimal cleanup and simplification is needed; there is no requirement for connected, watertight geometry. The full range of nanoFluidX Boundary Conditions can be created and there are specific solutions for Drivetrain Oiling and Vehicle Wading. Particle generation is parallelized. A typical gearbox model can be created in less than one day.
