I need some help on transient analysis..

Hi all,

I have problem statement. I need to do CFD analysis of Gear box with gears running. I need to analyze the cooling effect of the gear with help of Lubricant flow.

1. In Flow simulation can we do the analysis of Lubricant flow?

2. What is the maximum time step that we can solve in Transient analysis? ( Can we solve for 1 hour)?

Regards

Shravan

The rotating local regions in Flow Sim cannot intersect with each other, which will be a big issue for you when you try to model coolant flowing through meshed moving gears. You would have to simulate the gears as frozen in time, which I'm not sure will be a good model.
