CFDRC-ACE+ (http://www.cfdrc.com)

h CFD-GEOM:
Praxis beisp l:Ausa rbeitu ngspha A usarbe tiungd erStan dar-Z el

Generate or import geometry from CAD data Create mesh (structured, unstructured, automatic)

h CFD-GUI (Graphical User Interface):

Select modules (Which PDE are solved?) Set BC and numerical parameters (time-step, CFL, relax, etc.) Start and control solver CFD-ACE

h CFD-VIEW:

Visualisation and Evaluation

Model Generation

Determination of the system boundaries (Where does the system

start and end? What belongs to it?) -> GEOM

Identification of the relevant effects (What physical processes need to be considered? Fluid flow? Heat transfer? Chemical reactions? etc.) -> GUI

Determination of the model parameters (shape, size, material, actuation etc.) -> GEOM, GUI
Praxis beisp l:Ausa rbeitu ngspha A usarbe tiungd erStan dar-Z el

Mathematical formulation of the model (in commercial tools this is usually done by the solver, the user only has to set the parameters and boundary conditions)

Taking interactions of effects into account => multi physics modeling

Reducing the complexity => model reduction

The process of model generation is an essential part of the simulation!

A simulation is only as good as the underlying model! -> Think about it!
