AEDT Icepak Intro 2019R1 L5 Solving and PostProcessing

This document provides an overview of solving simulations and post-processing results in Icepak within AEDT. It describes setting up the solution type and physics, initializing and monitoring convergence, and different formats for viewing results including solution data, field overlays, the field calculator, and summary reports. Field overlays allow viewing contour plots, vector plots, and animations of temperature, velocity and other quantities on surfaces or planes. The field calculator enables creating custom expressions from basic fields for additional analysis and plotting.

Introduction to Icepak in AEDT

Release 2019 R1

1
Solution Setup

2
Solution Setup: Solution Type and Design Settings

Right-click Icepak Design Solution Type


• Temperature and Flow
(Conjugate Heat Transfer)
• Temperature Only (Conduction)
• Flow only

Design Settings

• Set Ambient Conditions


• Set the Gravity vector
(if applicable)

3
Solution Setup: Physics
• Specify a laminar or turbulent Turbulence Models
flow regime.
• Flows with fans are typically Flow and Turbulence
turbulent.
Settings
• Natural convection (stagnant
air) models are typically
laminar.
• Specify settings for radiation
heat transfer. Radiation Settings
• Radiation is always important
for natural convection models.
• Radiation models available:
• Discrete Ordinates
• Ray Tracing

4
Solution Setup: Solve
Convergence Solution Convergence and
Criteria Initialization Monitor Points Plots

Convergence should be determined from both convergence residuals and monitor point plots.

6
Post-processing: Formats
• In AEDT Icepak, simulation results can be viewed in four different formats:
1. Solution Data
‒ Computing resources
‒ Solution residuals, monitor point plots
2. Field Overlays
‒ Contour plots
‒ Vector plots
3. Field Calculator
4. Reports
‒ Fields summary

7
Post-processing: Solution Data
• Solution Data contains all the information related to the executed solution process.
• To view solution data, go to Icepak > Results > Solution Data.
• If there are multiple solutions, select a solution under Simulation.
• Profile Tab: Contains log of tasks performed by Icepak during the solution process and
the time taken for each task. It also reports the physical memory used for each task.
• Monitor Tab: Displays the solution residual, monitor point plots.
Profile Tab Monitor Tab

8
Post-processing: Delete Solution Data
• Clean Up Solutions can be used to selectively make deletions (fields only,
fields and mesh etc.) or remove all solutions from the results.
• To delete solution(s), go to Icepak > Results > Clean Up Solutions.

9
Post-processing: Field Overlays
• Field overlays are representations of basic or derived field quantities on surfaces or volumes.
• All the basic field quantities (velocity, temperature) and built-in derived quantities (heat flux,
heat transfer coefficient, etc.) can be directly used for plotting.
• Additional quantities can be derived using Fields Calculator and also used for plotting.
• A field plot can be a contour plot or a vector plot.

10
Post-processing: Field Overlays – Contour Plots
• To create contour plots on surfaces of objects or planes, select those entities in the History Tree.
• Right-click Field Overlays in the Project Manager and select Plot Fields > *Field Quantities*.
• To view contours on object surfaces only, in the Create Field Plot panel enable “Plot on surface only”.
• If there are multiple solutions, choose the solution data to be used under Context > Solution in the
Create Field Plot panel.
• The new plot appears in the GUI and is also listed in the Project Manager.

11
Post-processing: Field Overlays – Vector Plots
• To create vector plots, first select the entity (plane, point, etc.) in the History Tree.
• Right-click Field Overlays in the Project Manager and select Plot Fields > Velocity.
• The vector plot will be displayed on the selected entity and is also listed in the Project Manager.

12
Post-processing: Plot Attributes
• Double-click on the color legend to open the modify plot attributes panel.
o Color Map: Sets predefined color schemes.
o Scale: Sets range and number of colors to plot.
o Marker/Arrow: Sets size and style of arrows for vector plots.
o Plots: Sets display style of contour plots and arrow density of vector plots.

Post-processing: Field Calculator
• Field calculator enables the user to create customized expressions using basic field quantities.
• The resulting quantities can be plotted, tabulated or exported.
• To open Fields Calculator, right-click on Field Overlays in the Project Manager and select Calculator.
• Alternatively, go to Icepak > Fields > Calculator to open the same panel from the main menu.
Right-click > Field Overlays Icepak Menu > Fields

Post-processing: Field Animations
• An animated plot is a series of frames that displays changes in a field, mesh or geometry.
• To create an animation, right-click an existing field plot and select Animate.
• To animate from one end of the cabinet to the other, choose NormalizedDistance for Swept variable.
• Steps will set the number of frames to be displayed between the two ends of the Cabinet.

16
Post-processing: Fields Summary
• Fields summary can be used to create a summary report.
• In the Project Manager, right-click Field Overlays and select Create Fields Summary.
• In the Setup Calculation panel, select the Entity and the Quantity for generating the report.
• You can add as either a single calculation (one row) or multiple calculations (many rows).
