CO SIMULATION USING SIMCENTER STAR CCM

Category: Technology

With engineering simulations increasing complexity, it is difficult to instil the desired behaviour with one specialized software. Co Simulation enables two or more Simulation softwares to communicate data among each other throughout a Simulation. Modelling of heat pipes is also complicated due to the inherent two phase transfer of heat transfer. Modelling this process fully in 3D is both cumbersome and time-consuming. Co Simulation is an effective solution enabling multi domain Simulation by adding up two or more softwares. The geometry of a check valve is simulated coupling of softwares and has one inlet and one outlet. Throughout the transient Simulation, the effects of flow pushing is to overset a mesh region surrounding the plate. With force acting on the plate inside Simcenter STAR-CCM+, a spring and a mass system is simulated in Simcenter Amesim. With the plate’s mass and spring force Simcenter calculates the altered position of the plate and outputs updates plate’s overset region. Both the inlet and outlet pressures are assigned to the boundary conditions in Simcenter, which are controlled by Simcenter Amesim. Initially, both the pressures are set to be equal at 1 which is the bar, and as the simulation is run the inlet pressure increase from 1 to 10 and then remains at 10 for the entire duration of the simulation. Enabling co Simulation between two tools, the Explicit Coupling option is added as an auto-selected recommendation and allows for a two-way coupled co-simulation. With a new node being provided in the Simulation tree, the communication is carried out using TCP/IP where Simcenter Amesim acts as the server and Simcenter STAR-CCM+ as the client. With the network co Simulation component under Generic Co simulation library the user is prompted with the number of input and output ports to the connection. In order to feed the system model with data from a set of 3D simulations, can help improve the accuracy of the system model, sharing the data through files that still represent a disjointed process requiring multiple iterations to converge on a model correctly representative to system. In order to enable direct communication between system and 3D models there is seamless data transfer and leveraging of strengths. With many options at bay it is important to choose the one that caters to all your needs and has more strengths than weaknesses. Choosing the right software for the main purpose is essential to realize elements of ideas without wasting time using the wrong tool. Fluidmech has one of the most robust suites of features and workflows that users can access in a single program, it is the best choice for a feat that increases efficiency, low cost of entry and approachable interface. Siemens has Fluidmech as its authorized partner, NX and Solid edge that tackles 3D modeling in Fluidmech in a number of different ways like digital sculpting, mesh-based modelling, and parametric modelling. It is hard to convey just what sets Fluidmech apart.
