Description
With this enhancement you can simulate the heat transfer between solids and fluids for both internal and external studies. Conjugate heat transfer can be simulated using a forced flow or a natural convection situation where heat is lost into the surrounding fluid body. A single study can have multiple fluid types. Multiple fluid domains must be separated by a solid wall.

There is improved contact control implemented as follows:
• Automatic contact detection includes solid-fluid connections.
• There is a new ‘FSI’(Fluid-Solid Interface) tolerance option for contact detection between solids and fluids.
Benefits
• Incredible speed in solving complex studies
• Accurately predict heat transfer of combination of solids and fluid flow
• Optimize designs from CHT results
Additional Information
Tips: | None. |
Limitations: | External fluid domains must be solid domains only. You cannot use the quilt based enclosure volume feature in Creo to create an external fluid domain for a conjugate heat transfer study. |
Does this replace existing functionality? | No. |
Configuration option associated with this functionality: | None. |
