3D printing has opened a Pandora’s box for the design of Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces (TPMS) heat exchangers. When it’s possible to manufacture almost anything, how can you optimize your designs?
The hardest aspects of TPMS heat exchanger design are controlling two-phase flow instabilities, balancing heat transfer vs. pressure drop, and integrating manufacturable, reliable designs. This creates a design challenge with complex geometry and difficult physics that can be met head on using NX and STAR-CCM+ within a HEEDS-automated design process. Watch this on-demand webinar to learn more about TPMS heat exchangers and the advanced techniques that will help develop optimized designs while navigating complex constraints.Â
What You’ll Learn:
- NX TMPS Geometry definition: Setting up NX to quickly create parametric TPMS geometries.
- STAR-CCM+ CFD work flow: Easily automate CFD workflows linking the NX TPMS geometry to a full STAR-CCM+ Thermal/flow model.
- HEEDs Process control: Automating the TPMS thermal workflow for comprehensive optimization studies.
