Tips & Tricks

IDO.Present - Media Recording (VIDEO)

This tutorial will show you how to record your VDP / IC.IDO visualization screen. After you have studied this tutorial, you will be able to record your visualization screen and change the format or quality of the rendered video.

Clipping Plane Parameters (USER)

The clipping plane functionality allows the user to increase the performance of his session. Some geometries can cause problems with the default clipping parameters. This article will explain some hints to avoid such problems.

How to update the ProcessControl? (ADMINISTRATOR)

This document explains how to update the ProcessControl Software of your Virtual Reality Cluster.

Internal injection lines modeling

Internal injection lines on a shell model (i.e. made of internal element edges) are not supported by the parallel solver.

Direct Opening of a mesh

The creation of a RTM project and loading of the model mesh is usually done in 2 steps.

Coupling between PAM-FORM and PAM-RTM: multiple part mapping

Coupling between PAM-FORM 2G and PAM-RTM is done through a .DSY file. Thus, pre-forming process is simulated with PAM-FORM 2G and resulting fiber orientations that will affect permeabilities are transferred to PAM-RTM model setup.

CFD-FASTRAN/CFD-ACE+ coupling for thermal environment simulations

In certain applications, different regions of the computational domain experiences flow conditions that are so different that it is very difficult for a single solver to produce accurate results at the extremes. In many situations, such problems can be separated and solved using loosely coupled solvers. Each solver is chosen to provide highly accurate solutions for the prevailing flow conditions.

Avoiding Chimera Errors in CFD-FASTRAN

This note discusses a common error encountered by users when trying chimera meshes in CFD-FASTRAN. Such errors are easy to avoid and hopefully this note will assist you.

Motion Model Dependencies in CFD-FASTRAN

Moving-body models available in CFD-FASTRAN are highly suited to simulate complex prescribed and six-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) motions of rigid bodies. In many engineering problems, this translates to multiple bodies moving relative to one another.

Low Mach Preconditioning and Dual Time Stepping in CFD-FASTRAN

Density-based schemes employing time-marching procedures available in CFD-FASTRAN provide excellent stability and convergence characteristics for high-speed compressible flows (typically M >0.5).
