Description

Creates a FEM fluid section element for aerodynamic and hydraulic networks

Use

  1. Click on or choose FEM Fluid section for 1D flow from the top menu.
  2. Select Fluid type: Liquid, Gas or Open Channel
  3. Select Section type: Pipe Manning, Pipe Inlet etc.
  4. Enter Section type parameters.
  5. Select and add edge.

Limitations

  1. The contact constraint can only be applied to two faces.

Notes

  1. An example of the set up of a hydraulic network can be found here: http://web.mit.edu/calculix_v2.7/CalculiX/ccx_2.7/doc/ccx/node13.html
  2. The *FLUID SECTION card is used to model fluid elements for 1D flow. Information on the card can be found here: http://web.mit.edu/calculix_v2.7/CalculiX/ccx_2.7/doc/ccx/node205.html
