Tips & Tricks

Using a template CDL file for quick case set up in CFD-CADalyzer

If your simulations with CFD-CADalyzer typically include the same or similar type of physics, materials and boundary conditions then you can make the case setup process very efficient and quick with the use of a template file - a CDL file that includes the typical simulation settings.

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.

Inverting Models in CFD-CADalyzer

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) requires the discretization of a geometry bounded by it's wetted surfaces. In CAD, the solid parts are created without the corresponding fluid volumes, i.e. negative space.

Blanking, Grouping and Selecting Entities in CFD-CADalyzer

When working with models in CFD-CADalyzer, especially the more complicated ones, Blanking, Grouping and Selection tools can considerably simplify model setup and visualization.

Automatic Report Generator in CFD-CADalyzer

The Report Generator in CFD-CADalyzer allows a user to generate and print a detailed report of the CFD simulation that has been set up and run. The user can also customize the report to make it fit his/her needs and demands.
