Simulating the flow inside a manifold with midas NFX CFD

This week I started again to create tutorials…And the first one coming is the full modelling and simulation of a manifold in NFX CFD. I hope you will like it!

This time, it is a midas NFX Tutorial, but I won’t stop here, many more are coming!

I decided to start from zero in this video and show you how to:

1- Create the geometry of a Manifold

I will start from zero and show you how to draft the 3D CAD model inside midas NFX pre-processor. It isn’t very complex, but there are a few tricky things you may want to know in this process.

2- Generate the fluid volume inside

Generating the flow volume can be a hassle when you don’t know how. That’s why I’ll show you the right method to generate the volume ready for the simulation right away.

3- Simulate the flow inside the manifold (Steady State Flow)

I will then take the model I generated, apply the boundary conditions, generate the mesh and perform for you a steady-state CFD analysis of the flow inside the manifold. Then we will look at the convergence and the results together.

You will see, nothing really complex here, but you may still learn a few useful modelling and simulating tricks from this video!

After you watch it, don’t forget to let a comment to tell me if you like this kind of video tutorial… it will motivate me to do more of them for you!

This video tutorial will be the first one of a series of tutorials not only about midas NFX, but also other FEA software such as Ansys or Abaqus. I really hope you will learn a lot from them.

Thanks for watching, as usual :)
