From CAD to mesh generation for analysis, ANSYS ICEM CFD providessophisticated geometry acquisition, mesh generation, post-processing,and mesh optimization tools. ANSYS ICEM CFD is the only Universal pre-processor for analysis including FEA, CFD and other CAE applicationssuch as particle transport and computational electro-magnetics. Usedfor engineering applications such as computational fluid dynamics andstructural analysis, ANSYS ICEM CFDs mesh generation tools offer thecapability to parametrically create grids from geometry in multi-blockstructured, unstructured hexahedral, tetrahedral, hybrid gridsconsisting of hexahedral, tetrahedral, pyramidal and prismatic cells;and Cartesian grid formats combined with boundary conditions.Key Features:- Intuitive built-in geometry creation and highly automatedfunctionality for the modification and repair of imported CAD data- Ability to work with both NURBs and faceted geometry types like STLor existing meshes- Robust tools for creating all mesh types: hexahedral, tetrahedral,prism, pyramid, quad, tri or bar elements- Highly tolerant of imperfect/overdetailed CAD data containing sliversurfaces, gaps, holes and overlaps- Smoothing, coarsening, refinement, element type conversion, linearor quadratic element support- More than 100 CFD/CAE solver interface formats- File based transfer of CFD and structural results for Fluidstructure interaction simulations- Automated batch processing through an intuitive scripting frameworkNow, engineers and analysts have to learn only one software environmentto pre-process as well as post-process for the many analysis codesoften in use within a work environment.Direct CAD InterfacesA key component of the productivity savings from utilizing ICEM CFD isdue to the industry unique Direct CAD Interfaces. Presently availablefor CATIA, CADDS5, ICEM Surf/DDN, I-DEAS, SolidWorks, Solid Edge,Pro/ENGINEER and Unigraphics, ICEM CFDs Direct CAD Interfaces enablethe CAD model to be transferred directly into ICEM CFD, withoutrequiring cleanup of third-party formats such as STEP/IGES, ACIS,PARASOLID, DXF, STL etc. Through the Direct CAD Interfaces, boundaryconditions and grid size specifications can be applied in the CADsystem, and carried all the way through to the solver. Parametricmodeling is greatly simplified as this information is preserved withthe original CAD model, even throughout design modifications.Complete Meshing SuiteANSYS ICEM CFDs highly automated mesh generation tools cater tovirtually all topologies including all hexahedral, all tetrahedral,hybrid hex/tet element meshes, or Cartesian meshes. Additional elementsthat can be generated include prism and pyramid cells.ICEM CFD Hexa CAA V5: Hexahedral Volume Meshing within CATIA V5This application allows the user to create Hexahedral volume mesheswithin CATIA V5. The ICEM CFD Hexa Topology and mesh parameters aredefined with the ICEM CFD toolbar. These meshing specifications and theresulting ICEM CFD Hexa mesh are stored within the CATIA V5 Analysisdocument. Users can make changes to the original design and the meshcan be regenerated based on the stored mesh set-up data.Post-ProcessingA state of the art post- processing and visualization module, ICEM CFDVisual3, provides the CFD professional with easy-to-use powerful resultvisualization features for structured, unstructured, and hybrid grids.ICEM CFD Visual3 provides an in depth view of data with visualizationtools such as cutting planes, contouring, iso-surfaces, streamlines,line plots, data probes and animation. Features such as a CFD functioncalculator and an intuitive based user interface make ICEM CFD Visual3a powerful interpretation tool of computed results. The ANSYS ICEM CFDVisual3 is a flexible and customizable post-processor that interfaceswith all the major CFD/CAE solvers.http://www.ansys.com/products/icemcfd.asp
