Lesson: Establishing boundary conditions

In this lesson, you are introduced to


different types of boundary conditions that
can be used to model fluid motion. You will
begin by using Fusion 360 to develop a fluid
volume that is transferred to the CFD
software, and then add the boundary
conditions on the fluid.

The completed exercise


Learning Objectives:

• Understand simulation workflow.


• Set up boundary conditions for a
study.
• Apply a mesh to the study model.

1. Go to the location where you unzipped the


Boundary conditions folder and open the file
Valve.cfdst. You need to establish the boundary
conditions for the fluid as it will pass through the
valve. Begin by setting the materials. Right click
on Component5 then select Edit. Investigate the
options in the Materials control panel; make sure
water is selected then click Apply.

2. You now need to set boundary conditions. Click


Setup>Boundary Conditions. Select the inlet
end of the model then choose Edit from the
boundary conditions panel. Change the Units to
m/s and the Velocity Magnitude to 1.5 then click
Apply.

3. Click Setup>Boundary Conditions. Select the
other end of the model then choose Edit from
the boundary conditions panel. Change the
Type to Pressure, leave the value at 0 and click
Apply.

4. Click Setup>Mesh Sizing then click


Setup>Autosize. Note that the model is now
selected for meshing.
