Custom parameters for Cut Plots in Flow Simulation 2016

Carel Kriek May 2, 2017 1:54 PM

1. I am using SW Flow Simulation 2016 to investigate heat sink performance and want to create cut plots with the custom parameters Bottleneck number and Shortcut number. My problem is that I cannot find the two parameters in the list as indicated below. I tried to create them as custom parameters in the Engineering Data Base but was not successful in finding the right parameters to use in a function.

Anybody to help me out here?

Thanks in advance!

Carel.

The list below was found in an article about new features on SW Flow Simulation 2016.

  Do you have Flow simulation electronic cooling module?

    Hi Seckin,
    Yes, I do have the Electronics Cooling Module.

      Could you please activate these options and try again.

        Many thanks, I will activate those two options, re-run and check if the parameters are available.
        Will report back.
        Carel.

        I could only see the Local Mean Age (LMA) option under Calculation Control Options and not any Comfort Parameters to check. I do not have the HVAC module that maybe provides for the Comfort Parameter checkbox?
        Ran the simulation again but still could not see the Bottleneck and Shortcut Parameters to use in a cut plot.
        I have an external flow study with a power source on a simple heat sink with forced convection:

        I have found an SPR about it. Please contact with your var.
