The ANSYS CFX product allows engineers to test systems in a virtual environment. The scalable program has been applied to the simulation of water flowing past ship hulls, gas turbine engines including the compressors, combustion chamber, turbines and afterburners , aircraft aerodynamics, pumps, fans, HVAC systems, mixing vessels, hydrocyclones, vacuum cleaners, and more. History ANSYS CFX software has its roots in the programs CFX TASCflow and CFX 4. CFX 4 was formerly Flow3D in the United Kingdom and originally developed in house for use by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority UKAEA , and TASCflow which was developed by Advanced Scientific Computing ASC , of Waterloo, Ontario , Canada. FLOW3D was commercialized by UKAEA in the late 1980s and early 1990s, based on other in house codes. It was renamed as CFX 4 in the mid 1990s, since the name Flow 3D was already used in North America. The original product offering was based on a multi block structured hexahedral code based on a co located segregated implementation of the SIMPLE solution method. CFX 4 was very strong in the chemical process industry and included some of the industry s most advanced multiphase and chemistry models. TASCflow was a structured multi block hexahedral grid code, with a co located primitive variable formulation that utilized a control volume based ...

Multiphysics treats simulation s that involve multiple physical models or multiple simultaneous physical phenomena. For example, combining chemical kinetics and fluid mechanics or combining finite elements with molecular dynamics . Multiphysics typically involves solving coupled systems of partial differential equation s. Almost any physical simulation involves coupled systems, like E and B electric and magnetic fields for electromagnetism or pressure and velocity for sound or the real and the imaginary part of the quantum mechanical wave function. Another case is the mean field approximation for the electronic structure of atoms, where the electric field and the electron wave functions are coupled.

Parasolid s capabilities include model creation and editing utilities such as Boolean modeling operators, feature modeling support, advanced surfacing, thickening and hollowing, blending and filleting and sheet modeling. Parasolid also includes tools for direct model editing, including tapering, offsetting, geometry replacement and removal of feature details with automated regeneration of surrounding data. Parasolid also provides wide ranging graphical and rendering support, including hidden line, wireframe and drafting, tessellation and model data inquiries. When exported from the parent software package, a Parasolid commonly has the file extension .x t . Another format is .x b , which is in binary format so it is more machine independent and not subject to binary to text conversion errors. Most Parasolid files can communicate and migrate only 3D solids and or surface data Parasolid files currently cannot communicate and migrate 2D data such as lines and arcs. To use Parasolid effectively, users need to have fundamental knowledge of CAGD , computational geometry and topology .

expert date October 2010 unreferenced date October 2010 Simulation modeling is the process of creating and analyzing a Digital prototyping digital prototype of a physical model to predict its performance in the real world. Simulation modeling is used to help designers and engineers understand whether, under what conditions, and in which ways a part could fail and what loads it can withstand. Simulation modeling can also help predict fluid flow and heat transfer patterns. Uses of Simulation Modeling Simulation modeling allows designers and engineers to avoid repeated building of multiple physical prototypes to analyze designs for new or existing parts. Before creating the physical prototype, users can virtually investigate many digital prototypes. Using the technique, they can Optimize geometry for weight and strength Select materials that meet weight, strength, and budget requirements Simulate part failure and identify the loading conditions that cause them Assess extreme environmental conditions or loads not easily tested on physical prototypes, such as earthquake shock load Verify hand calculations Validate the likely safety and survival of a physical prototype before testing Typical Simulation Modeling Workflow Simulation modeling follows a process much like this Use a 2D or 3D CAD tool to develop a virtual model, also known as a digital prototype, to represent a design. Generate a 2D or 3D mesh for analysis calculations. Automatic algorithms can create finite element meshes, or users can create structured meshes to maintain control over element quality. Define finite element analysis data loads, constraints, or materials based on analysis type thermal, structural, or fluid . Apply boundary conditions to the model to represent how the part will be restrained during use. Perform finite element analysis, review results, and make engineering judgments based on results.
