Practical use of computational fluid dynamics as a design tool utilizing 3D-CAD data

摘要

The recent introduction of 3D-CAD systems has allowed more effective use of 3D model data in various fields. from product design to production. In particular, computational fluid dynamics is an important field using 3D model data. A new systemstructure achieves reduced time and cost for generating the grid for the simulation. This system automatically forms the so-called unstructured mesh that consists of tetrahedral and triangular prism cells. This system will provide the solution to the time and cost reduction requirements of the simulation.
