In Autodesk CFD, once you have defined the materials and boundary conditions in your valve model, you can start the flow simulation.
00:12
First, on the ribbon, in the Setup tab, Simulation panel, click Solve.
00:19
This opens the Solve quick start dialog.
00:23
On the Control tab, review the settings.
00:26
Here, the defaults are appropriate for the model.
00:30
To start the simulation, click Solve.
00:33
While the simulation runs, you can see the results as they are computed in the Output Bar.
00:39
This simulation takes about 5-7 minutes to complete, but it is sped up for this example.
00:45
There are a few things to notice:
00:48
When the initialization is complete and the analysis begins, in the Output Bar, you see the Convergence Plot.
00:55
It shows how the simulation is running.
00:58
When the lines go flat, the solution is no longer changing, and the simulation is complete.
01:05
For a bigger view of the model, click the Output Bar to minimize it.
01:09
Finally, as the results update during the simulation, you can view them using the Results controls on the ribbon.
01:17
In this example, Global is selected, which allows you to control the results appearance on the entire model.
01:24
After a few minutes, the simulation finishes.
01:28
Now that you know how to run a flow simulation in a valve model, you can explore different methods of visualizing the results.
