Analysis of Airflow through a Duct

This example guides you through creating and performing an internal flow simulation on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

You will learn how to:

• Use the Assistant to create a simulation that models the mechanical forces and dynamics of steady-state fluid flow.
• Define a fluid region internal to your model.
• Assign a material to the fluid section, and specify the physics of the flow.
• Apply boundary conditions.
• Create a mesh of the fluid region.
• Request data output for pertinent variables.
• Check and run a simulation.
• Create sensors to display different types of results data.
• Generate plots to view the pressure, flow velocity, and streamline contours of the fluid flow.
