Simplified Modeling for Baffle

Simplified Modeling for Baffle

Summary

 

A proposal to simplify modeling Baffle features in a cooling system.

 

Problem

 

Currently, every baffle requires two separate lines to create a baffle. Users can either make a small V configuration or the two lines can be coincident. However, if at any time the nodes get merged on the baffle line then the solver interprets the baffle as a dead-end. This issue is especially problematic if using HyperMesh to generate a Moldflow mesh file. 

 

Solution Proposed

 

Eliminate the second line needed to generate the baffle. The necessary pressure drop should be automatically calculated by the solver. The solver should also be able to tell which direction the water is moving based on the coolant inlet boundary condition. This is similar to other softwares on the market.

We had a similar discussion at the closing session of the moldflow power track at AU 2013, which got some good support. We have this under consideration. In principle you could create a simple bubbler and baffle modeling API script to simplify the modeling.

Or else Autodesk may create a Inventory in which standard dimension (For e.g.Husky) Baffle / Bubblers be made available. User may just have to say 'Insert' or 'Add' from Inventory.

I would suggest you keep an eye open for the Moldflow 2018.1 Technology Preview (Scandium). 😉
