Simcenter 3D for multiphysics simulation solution guide

This ten-page solution guide explains how Simcenter 3D handles problems that cross several physics domains, using one engineering desktop for pre- and postprocessing. It distinguishes weakly coupled problems, where results from one solution are passed as loads to the next, from strongly coupled problems that need co-simulation or a fully integrated solver.

What the document covers

• Mapping results between dissimilar meshes, including temperatures, pressures, displacements and electromagnetic stator forces, and results from third-party solvers such as ANSYS, Abaqus, MSC Nastran and LS-DYNA
• Simcenter 3D Thermal Multiphysics for coupled flow and heat transfer, conjugate heat transfer and 1D-3D flow submodels
• Simcenter 3D Multiphysics, combining Simcenter Nastran structural analysis with thermal and flow physics, including thermomechanical analysis of turbomachinery
• Simcenter Nastran Advanced Acoustics for coupled vibro-acoustics with AML technology and the FEMAO solver
• Simcenter 3D Aero-Vibro-Acoustics for fan, HVAC and propeller noise and wind loads on panels, and electromagnetic-thermal coupling with Simcenter MAGNET
• Application examples across aerospace, automotive, marine, consumer goods and electronics, plus a chart of supported coupling types

Who it is for

Aimed at CAE engineers and simulation team leads who need to combine structural, thermal, flow, acoustic or electromagnetic analysis, for example in electric motors, engines, electronics cooling or aircraft cabins.
