60 ALL CASES WHERE SIMULATED WITH PHOENICS! Seite 60

61 But phoenics needs some help! Seite 61

62 Our Workflow FVUNS STL DAT Q1 Konverter STL PHI Phoenics Fieldview MS-Excel Seite 62

63 Why do we need a solid modeller? drawing assembly 3D-view extrusion Simple shadow calculation Seite 63

64 Advanced rendering Seite 64

65 Drawings Seite 65

66 Solid modelling Using a modern 3D-CAD program has multiple benefits for our work: Used for geometry creation (-> STL) Speeds up model setup dramatically Handle complex geometry easily Convert a multitude of 3D formats Build geometry based on 2D drawings Change geometry through parametric design High quality output is important for most customers Has a lot of spin off for your work Seite 66

67 Our tools Seite 67

68 Geometry-Cross-Converter STL_FVUNS.EXE Reading STL DAT Writing STL DAT Multi-Dat +Q1 FVUNS We can convert a complete Assembly from Solidworks (via STL) to Phoenics and fieldview Seite 68

69 STL_FVUNS.EXE propeties Geometry Conversion brings all the power of a Solid Modeller to Phoenics! solidworks And we can solve some problems with the STL-files... phoenics STL- File DAT- File fieldview Seite 69

70 And our little star: Q1-Excel Q1-Excel is a conversion tool, that converts the complete VR-geometry into an excel-file and vice versa header VR Seite 70

71 Example B2 B1 B3 One VR-object gives one line in Excel. And the clou is: We got a two way conversion Q1 -> Excel Excel -> Q1 So you can modify, copy, change, calculate anything you want Seite 71

72 Beispiele IN1 IN6 B1 B3 Q1-Excel is simple, but very powerful: direct Excel access self learning new properties does some model checks (input balance) can read and format result files -> Excel can export FVUNS and STL-files from Q1-definition Seite 72

73 Q1-Excel: some check features Example for a result readout NAME OBJ R1 TEM1 OUT1 OB C DECKE OB DECKE1 OB DECKE2 OB INLET1 OB C INLET2 OB C Result R1 TEM1 pos. sum neg. sum Nett sum Final TimeStep 1 Final Sweep 223 And, what s the big button for? imagine, how fast it is... Example for a balance check Domain Size m² 19.4 m/s Typ Name A u V IN IA m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s IN IB m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s IN IA m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s IN IB m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s IN IA m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s IN IB m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s IN IA m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s IN IB m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s IN IA m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s IN IB m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s IN IA m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s IN IB m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s IN IA m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s IN IB m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s IN IA m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s IN IB m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s IN IA m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s IN IB m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s IN IA m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s IN IB m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s IN IA m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s IN IB m² 5.0 m/s 0.8 m³/s Inlets: 85 Outlets : 43.0 m² 1.5 m/s 64.0 m³/s Seite 73

74 Q1-Excel: repeat command Seite 74

75 Conclusion Phoenics VR is the fastest and best tool on the market to calculate the flow through complex geometry: Fast semi-automated meshgeneration Parcel solid treatement There are some significant improvements, if we combine PHOENICS with a powerful 3D CAD package and a more advanced postprocessor. Some of the features could be included into phoenics easily: Direct Data Exchange with Excel via OLE2 Some improvements on the VR-viewer (fieldview gives a good guideline!)! The annual costs for our Tools where less than one Fluentlicense for the first year, and less than a half Fluent license for the next years! Seite 75
