Tips & Tricks

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.

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.

Model clipping feature in CFD-VisCART and CFD-GEOM

For better visualization of the geometry and mesh, a model clipping feature was introduced in CFD-VisCART and CFD-GEOM V2013.0. The following sections illustrate the usage and benefits of this feature.

Improve Productivity Using Scripts [Video Format]

As simulations become more integrated with the design process, engineers often spend time on repeated operations that do not contribute to their productivity. There is a need for tools that could capture, preserve and transfer the knowledge within the organization or to its customers.

Boundary layer meshing with CFD-ACE+ [video format]

The accuracy of a CFD solution is strongly dependent on how well the mesh resolves geometry and flow features. This is especially true for near wall regions (boundary layer) where viscous forces are not negligible compared to inertial forces.
