After preparing your model, use the Data Transfer tool to transfer mesh data to the environment used for aerodynamic and aeroacoustic setup.
Manage the parts and assemblies that make up your model.
You can change the unit system using the Unit System Selector or the Preferences. When importing "discrete mesh" files (.stl, .nas, .fem) with unspecified units, select the model unit in the Import Options dialog.
Use the Systems tool to define local coordinate systems and translate the parts needed to align the model.
Use the Edit Tunnel tool to define the size of the wind tunnel.
Use the Turbulence tool to generate turbulence source regions.
Use the Move tool to position the car inside of the wind tunnel.
Use the Identify Parts tool to define types of parts like wheels, heat exchangers or body panels, which require specific modeling techniques for the CFD run.
Selecting a part allows you to set values for various properties.
Use the Ride Height tool to adjust the heave, pitch, and roll of the model.
Use the Normals tool to identify and correct the surface normal directions on parts.
Use the Mesh Controls tool to define regions with a user-defined volume element size.
Use the Material tool to define a fluid material for the wind tunnel.
Use the Belt System tool to model a belt system.
Use the General Output tool to define settings for output controls.
Use the Probes tool to define surface probes.
Use the Probes tool to create probes based on a polyline.
Use the Probes tool to define volume probes.
Use the Probes tool to create probes from a rake.
Use the Section cut tool to select planes on which you would like to export the volume variables at given intervals.
Use the Surface tool to define surfaces on which you would like to export results at specific intervals.
Use the Monitor Surface Outputs tool to create an output surface that is not part of the geometry.
Use the Volume tool to define boxes within which the results on all voxels will be written to disk at specified intervals.
Use the Output table tool to import, export, and edit output controls.
Submit jobs and view reports.
Post-process the simulation results by creating visualizations and measurements.
Automate simulation processes with templates and utility scripts.
Once the baseline model is prepared, you can define morph volumes, morph geometry, create design shapes and run DOE studies. These tool work for both AcuSolve and ultraFluidX-based workflows.
