Abstract: |
This paper presents first industrial application of a
new CFD, full 3-D simulation approach. The numerical approach was developed
as user friendly, engineering Web-based tool that enables engineers to start
fully 3D reactive molding simulations remotely. The tool that is based on
commercial CFD software - Fluent - enables the simulation of filling and
curing stages and gives useful information helping to understand the
phenomena occurring inside the mold. The
elaborated method starts with CAD geometry preparation according to the set
of specific rules. Secondly the geometry is uploaded via the Website. In the
next step the Web application analyzes the geometry and detects its structure
automatically. This initial information allows creating a specific Website
where, in consequence, engineer (responsible for the final process and
product design) is able to enter process parameters (e.g. velocities,
temperatures, material properties etc.) and start calculations. The meshing
and solving stages are performed in fully automated way. Afterwards the Web
application creates the report with simulation results. This report is
available via Website. Based on these information
the engineer makes decision to accept the design and process parameters or to
restart the simulation for further optimization. |
