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.

How to define height of constraint UDT profile with respect to the Blankholder?

Method to constrain the height of UDT profile bulge with respect to the Blankholder

How to define tipping for free double parts with existing forming direction?

Recommendation to position properly the free double parts in case the forming direction is predefined.

How to get back the hidden Part Definition after accepting dialogue?

Option to deactivate to get back the hidden part definition after accepting dialogue.

How to improve the update performance on iterations?

Recommendation to optimize the update performance during iterations.

Fiber volume content contour

Two dedicated composites contours are available in PAM-FORM 2G post-processing: Shear angle and fiber directions.

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.

How to complete partial part on binder die design with “flat” part boundary?

In the following picture, the die entry radius in the addendum region should disappear smoothly in a flat surface (or infinite radius). In current version, there is no function to directly fulfill this need.

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.
