Highlights Include
For applications like multiphase flow through nozzles and orifices, bubbly flow or counter gravity flow, A-MUSIG, the Adaptive Multiple Size Group population balance model, allows users to accurately model flows where the dispersed phase of bubbles, droplets or particles has a varied population in terms of size.
For filtration, fluidized beds or biomass furnaces type of applications the Source Smoothing technique automatically smooths and coarsens the underlying computational fluid dynamics (CFD) mesh to make it more appropriate for DEM calculations. This provides the benefit of shortening the computational time of DEM simulations, ultimately allowing engineers to evaluate more design configurations in the same amount of time.
The new Simulation Tree Comparison feature significantly increases usability by allowing the side-by-side comparison of the simulation setup from two different cases. You will be able to easily identify differences or variations from best practices, saving time in checking your simulation setup.
Simulation Parameters is a key enabler of design space exploration and automation. They streamline the definition of parameters for defining common inputs, and allow to quickly setup and modify simulation inputs.
Local Surface Wrapping offers a significant reduction in turnaround time and allows for efficiently swap or modify parts without having to re-wrap the entire geometry.
Fluid Film Surface Tension is critical to all the vehicle water management types of application, it is also relevant for painting/coating analysis.
Parts-Based Extrusion replaces the region based extrusion, and as a mesh operation you can build extrusions without rebuilding the entire mesh.
Lagrangian and DEM with Simulation History improves usability with a Simh for retrospective postprocessing of flow and droplet/particle fields. Users can instantly advance to any state stored in the .simh file.
