CadenceTECHTALK: Streamlined CFD Workflow for Complex Automotive Geometries

Time: 8:00am PST | 10:00am CDT | 5:00pm CET

Handling automotive simulations can be challenging because of the massive amount of data and the complexity of integrating CAD data from multiple sources. A raw CAD extracted from a central PLM system may contain millions of surfaces with errors, irrelevant sections, missing parts, and conflicting geometries. This requires engineers to load and clean CAD parts one at a time, a time-consuming task. Automation is necessary to limit user input to a minimum. After cleaning, the geometry must be meshed with the lowest possible cell count that still captures the desired geometrical details and physical flow features to ensure the simulation’s predictive accuracy. This necessitates an efficient mesher that places cells only where necessary and a fast and accurate solver that produces an accurate flow solution without unreasonable grid refinements.

In this webinar, you will discover how Fidelity supports engineers in overcoming challenges by providing:

• Efficient data management and a responsive GUI, even when handling the largest CADs
• Tools for automatic geometry cleaning, including wet/dry surface detection and automatic sealing
• Efficient technology for meshing complex geometries while maintaining high-quality mesh and full viscous layer coverage, if necessary
• Fast and accurate solvers on CPU and GPU hardware
