Improved Geometry Handling

A new set of tools offers you more flexibility in handling complex geometries for fluid model creation or boundary condition definitions. The new functionalities save you time in preparing the model geometry for the fluid flow analysis.

No Fluid mode

Improves the handling of complex/large models to save set up time when defining the fluid flow simulation. Activate this mode to define the boundary conditions, even if the fluid model is not defined.

Leakage Browser

Available in the Create Lids feature. Helps you locate holes or displacement gaps in the model by visualizing the route from an internal face to an external face of the component.

Split component into faces

Applies the defined surface boundary condition to all faces of the selected component.

Replicate a condition to the same component instances

Copies a flow condition (heat source, material, engineering goal, and so on) that is applied to one part to its other instances in the assembly.

Check Geometry

The Check Geometry option is redesigned inside the PropertyManager to keep it visible.

Results Resolution

Governs the solution accuracy through mesh settings and conditions for finishing the calculation. For local mesh settings, the maximum level is set at nine instead of seven for a finer mesh and an even more rigorous resolution of the simulation.

Mesh Settings

When defining a mesh control, the limitation of 1000 basic cells in each direction is removed. You can define a finer mesh for complex or large models.
