Overview of generating a report.
Ball Valve Example
This example is an introduction to the Autodesk Simulation Multiphysics software. The

example will give step-by-step instructions for creating a mesh and analyzing a threedimensional (3-D) model of water flowing through a partially opened ball valve. There are
three sections:
Setting up the model Open the model in the FEA Editor environment and create the
mesh on the model. Then add the necessary loads and constraints and define the model
parameters. Visually check the model for errors with the Results environment.
Analyzing the model Analyze the model using the fluid flow processor.
Reviewing the results View the velocity results graphically using the Results environment.
Use the model, Ball Valve.ach, located in the "Chapter 1 Example Model\Input File" folder of
the class directory or Solutions CD. We will create a simple model of the water flowing
through a ball valve (see Figure 1.1). Water will enter the model at a velocity of 0.5 in/s in
the Z direction and exit from the opposite end of the model, where an inlet/outlet condition
will be specified. We will ramp up the velocity in 1 second using 10 steps and will continue
running at the same velocity for another 9 seconds using 10 more steps.

Chapter 1: Example Using Autodesk Simulation Multiphysics
Meshing the Model

The FEA Editor environment is used to create a mesh for all solid models. You can open CAD
models originating from any of the various CAD solid modelers that are supported, including
the formats of thirteen proprietary CAD products. You can also open models of any of four
supported universal CAD formats (ACIS, IGES, STEP, and STL).
Press the Windows "Start" button and access the "All
Programs" pull-out menu. Select the "Autodesk" folder
and then the "Autodesk Algor Simulation 2012" folder.

The model will appear in the FEA Editor environment.
We will use a boundary layer mesh that produces a greater concentration of nodes near the
surface of the fluid, where velocity gradients are the steepest. For the inlet and outlet
surfaces, boundary layers are not desirable. We will exclude these two surfaces from
receiving boundary layers.

Setting up the Model
The ball valve model will appear as shown in Figure 1.2. If you zoom in on the inlet and
outlet surfaces, which were excluded from receiving boundary layers, you will clearly see the
boundary layers applied to the adjacent cylindrical surfaces.
Figure 1.2: Ball Valve Model in FEA Editor Environment

The FEA Editor environment is used to specify all of the element and analysis parameters for
your model and to apply the loads and constraints. You will notice a red X on certain
8/10/2011
13

headings in the tree view. This signifies that this data has not yet been specified. You will
need to eliminate all of the red Xs before analyzing the model. Since you have created a solid
mesh, the "Element Type" heading in the tree view is already set to "3-D" and the default
"Element Definition" parameters have been accepted.

We must assume that the velocity of the fluid at the wall of the pipe is zero. By default,
before the analysis begins, the program will automatically apply zero-velocity constraints to
all outer surfaces that do not have a load applied or have not been defined as prescribed
inlet/outlets. Therefore we will assign a prescribed velocity at the inlet and apply a prescribed
inlet/outlet at the outlet. The remaining surfaces will be held to zero-velocity.

displayed time step will automatically be incremented as each step converges during the
solution phase. When the analysis has been completed, the analysis window will close and
the associated task bar button will go away.

Reviewing the Results

Adding a Slice Plane
A slice plane will allow us to view the velocity profile on the interior of the model.
Remember that the velocity for all of the outside boundaries, where no prescribed velocity,
pressure, or inlet/outlet condition was defined, will be zero (dark blue color).
