CFD Analysis for Large Family Table

Hi everyone,

I am facing an exciting challenge and am hoping to find some expert opinions here.

 

I have a comprehensive family table with over a thousand different parts and want to identify the optimal part from this collection. My idea is to conduct a CFD analysis to determine the best results.

 

My question is: Is it possible to perform a CFD analysis for such a family table? Can the entire analysis be precomputed so that, in the end, I only need to go through the results? I understand that the interpretation of the results ultimately lies with the viewer, but it would be great if the analysis process could be automated to identify the best parts more quickly and efficiently. 

 

I am using Creo 10 for this task.

 

Has anyone here conducted a similar analysis or can offer tips on how to approach this?

 

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards 🙂

Hi @ProFeature ,

you are absolutely right. Your suggestion led me to discover a video that can solve this exact problem: "Creo Flow Analysis & Behavioral Modeling Extension Integration | Creo 9."

 

Here is the link to the video: Creo Flow Analysis & Behavioral Modeling Extension Integration | Creo 9 .

 

With the Behavioral Modeling Extension (BMX), all necessary calculations can be performed effectively. It appears that these BMX studies with flow analysis are only integrated starting from Creo 9.

Regards,
Spy 🙂

Hi @The_Spy 

Why are you interested in CFD when geometric analysis cannot provide an answer?

 

Thanks

Hi @ProFeature,

I designed a connector piece from a 100mm pipe to a 125mm pipe with an inner core. I then created a family table to test various versions, as the flow is expected to detach at an alpha of over 10°. Initially, this is a rather simple part and, since only air flows through it, it does not need to withstand enormous stresses. My primary goal is to get an introduction to CFD analysis.

 

Thanks 🙂

Hi @The_Spy 

Why are you using a family table instead of BMX (desgin study)?

With BMX you can get all the calculations you need graphically or export to Excel.
