Case Setup

New Features

Virtual Fan Model
A new fan model has been added to the fan guide panel. The virtual fan lets you specify an equivalent volume that replaces the physical fan. This simplification lets you compute fan flow with a much lower cost while the flow field is represented reasonably well.
Surface Roughness
Parts can now have surface roughness as part of the wall model. This is applied as an equivalent sand grain roughness height. The feature is available only when the global coupling is set to adaptive two-way and the parts are either wheels and belts.

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed a crash when hitting the Esc key while editing refinement box dimensions.
  • Fixed a crash when selecting the split intersecting parts option for MRF fan volumes.
  • Far field element size values are now in sync when both the Far Field microdialog and Mesh Controls dialog are active.
