NFX-T: 1000 Simple Gearbox Single Phase

Tutorial Level: Beginner Set up a simple single phase gearbox for drive train oiling simulation using SimLab for CFD-nanoFluidX solution. Oil distribution will be analyzed and basics of the post-processing in SimLab will be demonstrated.

Figure 1.


In this lesson you will learn how to:
  • Select unit system
  • Import CAD geometry
  • Define SPH flow solution
  • Define oil properties
  • Define initial conditions
  • Define body force
  • Assign motion
  • Create SPH particles
  • Set solver settings
  • Set result request
  • Check simulation data
  • Perform basic post-processing in SimLab
Note: A PDF version of this tutorial is available in the Model Files section.

Prerequisites

To run this simulation, you will need access to a licensed version of SimLab and nanoFluidX.
