Software Tools for Simulation

In accordance with VDI2234 Basic Economical Information for Design Engineers and as explained in Section 8.1.2, the designer of the mold is responsible for a large 

Once the mesh has been generated, and this is an automatic background process for integrated modules, it is up to the user to set the boundary conditions. The first step is to examine how the part-cavity fills (Fig. 8.21). This is of particular importance for the designer of the mold. If necessary this specialist can change the geometry to optimize cavity-filling conditions. The choice of a suitable material is important

The analysis enables the user, ideally the molding designer, to draw conclusions about

COSILAB Combustion Simulation Software is a set of commercial software tools for simulating a variety of laminar flames including unstrained, premixed freely propagating flames, unstrained, premixed burner-stabilized flames, strained premixed flames, strained diffusion flames, strained partially premixed flames cylindrical and spherical symmetrical flames. The code can simulate transient spherically expanding and converging flames, droplets and streams of droplets in flames, sprays, tubular flames, combustion and/or evaporation of single spherical drops of liquid fuel, reactions in plug flow and perfectly stirred reactors, and problems of reactive boundary layers, such as open or enclosed jet flames, or flames in a wall boundary layer. The codes were developed from RUN-1DL, described below, and are now maintained and distributed by SoftPredict.
