Tips & Tricks

How to find out what forces are working inside the sheet or tube section ?

If you need insight on the restraining force of a geometrical drawbead or want to know the transmitted force in a sheet or tube section, you can define a force gauge.

Part to part positioning based on mesh geometry

Sometimes the car coordinate system is not available with the stamped part. So if one wants to map stamp results, to an assembly operation, first of all the part needs to be transformed to the right position.

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.
