Product designers are increasingly being asked to use simulation tools in their design process.
Product designers are increasingly being asked to use simulation tools in their design process.
But unless design engineers understand the physics and mathematics behind the simulations, how can they trust the results?
This white paper is based on a presentation at the NAFEMS World Conference. In it, the authors explain the impact that choosing a Cartesian-based mesh has on the way the geometry is handled, in particular solid-fluid and solid-solid interfaces. Their examples are based on SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation. If you are considering using a CAD-embedded CAE tool and you want to understand how the physics and mathematics work, this white paper will provide helpful background.
