Setup
Prepare your model and run the simulation.
- General Setup
  Prepare your model for a general AcuSolve simulation.
  - Flow
    Set up the simulation model, materials, domains, and boundaries.
  - Radiation
    Define radiation conditions and create emissivity models.
    - Thermal Radiation
      Define thermal radiation conditions.
    - Participating Media
      Define participating media radiation conditions.
    - Solar Radiation
      Define solar radiation conditions.
      - Set Up the Solar Radiation Settings
        Use the Physics tool to define the solar radiation settings used in the simulation. Here you can specify the global parameters for solar radiation heat flux.
      - Define Solar Radiation Models
        Use the Model tool to create, delete, and import/export solar radiation models. These models are utilized to calculate the solar heat flux on applied surfaces.
      - Assign Solar Radiation to Surfaces
        Use the Surface tool to apply solar radiation properties to selected surfaces. Solar heat flux is calculated on these surfaces based on the defined solar radiation model.
  - Motion
    Define direct, derived, and constrained mesh motion.
  - Solution
    Define output conditions, run the simulation, and view the results.
  - AcuTrace
    AcuTrace is particle tracer that runs as a post-processor to AcuSolve.
- Aerodynamic and Aeroacoustic Setup
  Prepare your model for wind tunnel analysis using ultraFluidX.
Post-Processing
Post-process the simulation results by creating visualizations and measurements.
Automation
Automate simulation processes with templates and utility scripts.
Design Exploration
Once the baseline model is prepared, you can define morph volumes, morph geometry, create design shapes and run DOE studies. These tool work for both AcuSolve and ultraFluidX-based workflows.
Solver Help
More resources for AcuSolve and ultraFluidX solvers.
