In CFD modeling, input parts can have topology issues, like free surfaces and self-intersections, and part assembly
issues, such as parts with very close proximity and intersecting parts. Manually connecting these parts can be time
consuming and require expertise in certain tools. The Wrap tool can generate a watertight manifold model from dirty input with considerably less manual work.
Use the Derived Region tool to create enclosed and offset regions around a selection – which can be used to define
volumetric refinement levels – or create projected regions in a given direction.
Once the baseline model is prepared, you can define morph volumes, morph geometry, create design shapes and run DOE
studies. These tool work for both AcuSolve and ultraFluidX-based workflows.
Use the Edit tools to manually improve the quality of surface mesh
elements and nodes.
Smooth Elements
Use the Edit: Smooth tool to optimize the quality of selected elements.
Move Elements
Use the Edit: Move tool to move nodes, drag tria elements, modify holes and washers, and automatically optimize nodes and elements.
Split, Swap, Combine Elements
Use the Edit: Split tool to split quad elements and edges, combine tria elements, and swap element edges. Second order 2D elements are also supported.
Replace Nodes
Use the Edit: Replace tool to relocate and replace the positions of nodes.
Create and Delete Elements
Use the Edit: Create tool to create new 1D/2D/3D elements and delete elements.
Associate Nodes to Geometry
Use the Edit Elements: Associate tool to find non-associated nodes, review them, and associate to target geometry.
