Ansys Fluent's thermal management simulation for batteries

Ansys Fluent offers quick and accurate CFD results. With a flexible dynamic grid and parallel computing with ultimate scalability, it also offers the function of custom function so users can build new models and expand the customization of the existing models. Ansys Fluent’s interactive solution configuration, solving, and post-processing function can be easily paused with the results being checked with the in-built post-processing function, and after the configuration was altered, it can resume computing for one single application. Ansys CFD-Post can read the case file and data file, then compare different cases and conduct further analyses through the advanced post-processing tool.

Ansys CFX

Ansys CFX is a fluid dynamic software of advanced technology and vast applications, which has been applied to solve extensive flow problems in the past two decades. Ansys CFX’s advanced solving technology is the key to quickly and steadily obtain reliable and accurate results. Its highly parallel solver is the computing basis for the extensive physical models that can virtually capture random and flow-related phenomena. The solver and its abundant physical models are presented through a modern, intuitive, and flexible user interface that can be configured and automatized with windows, macros, or powerful expression languages. In addition to the comprehensive CFD functions, Ansys CFX is also a great tool for rotating machinery analysis. Its features include the series of settings and post-processing for rotating machinery, especially the computing for transient optimization of blades, and the consideration for interactions between rotor and stator, etc.
