say you need to compute drag coefficient on a car body and let us assume that the flow direction is x, Drag Coefficient = Traction_x ( on car body ) / ( 0.5 * rho * Uref * Uref … Read More
In AcuConsole you can propagate commands from one surface/volume to many other surfaces/volumes very easily using Propagate. For example, Say you want to use the surface output values from “Inflow” surface group to three other surfaces, “Outflow”, “Wall” and … Read More
Please Use the Learning Library for Up To Date HyperWorks Learning Material, Tips and Tricks In the material models definition we can use variable properties. One of these is specific heat. If we switch from constant specific heat to piecewise linear … Read More
Did you know that you can control certain characteristics of AcuSolve jobs while they are running? The AcuSig utility allows users to signal the solver to perform a number of actions including: – write output (at a single step … Read More
Please Use the Learning Library for Up To Date HyperWorks Learning Material, Tips and Tricks Option to compress AcuConsole database while closing it. AcuConsole database works like say a word document. If you notice, when you create a word document and … Read More
Did you know that AcuConsole supports a number of command line options that provide short cuts for creating a new database, importing data, and opening an existing database? These shortcuts are very useful for having AcuConsole open directly in the … Read More
Did You Know that you can use mesh size expression to control the mesh specification in AcuConsole. Say for example you have a cylinder of diameter 1m with it’s axis along x-axis. You want to refine the mesh between radii … Read More
Did you know that AcuSolve performs profiling on various aspects of each run and summarizes the timing information to the Log file? This information can be further summarized to determine what percentage of the CPU time was spent on each … Read More
“Did You Know” that AcuConsole first creates a unioned model of the geometry before generating the mesh. i.e., Say you have parts A, B and C in your CAD and while importing, AcuConsole does A U B U C ( … Read More
Did You Know that you can use variable manager to create variables local to an AcuConsole database and use them in various panels for real numbers. See our earlier Did You Know post https://altairuniversity.com/2013/06/26/parametric-databases-and-analyses-tips-tricks/ Once a variable is created, you … Read More
