Supported AcuSolve Entities

Entities used to set up a case to run a CFD analysis using AcuSolve.

Global: Contains the physical description of the case, for example, laminar/turbulent and numerical parameters, such as convergence tolerance.
Output: Define the frequency of different outputs: Derived Quantity Output, Nodal Output and Restart Output.
Volumes: Components with Fluid and Solid card images are grouped in this folder.
Surfaces: Components with Inflow, Outflow, Wall, Slip, Symmetry and Far Field card images are grouped in this folder.
Components With No Card Image: Components with no card image will not be exported with the solver deck. By default, all of the components will not have a card image. You have to choose the appropriate card image for the component and the component will be moved to the Surfaces or Volumes folder accordingly.
Nodal Boundary Condition: Define boundary conditions on nodes apart from surface boundary conditions.
Materials: Contains material definitions.
Body Force: Define gravity and heat source for volume components.
Periodic Boundary Condition: Define periodic or axisymmetric boundaries along with the transformation definition.
Reference Frame: Define rotational reference frame for the model.
Mesh Motion: Define translation and rotation for the mesh.
Emissivity Model: Define emissivity model for radiation surface.
Multiplier Function: Define multiplier functions (Constant, Piecewise Linear, Cubic Spline, Piecewise Log Linear) and utilize multiplier functions to ramp up supported parameters, for example angular velocities of reference frame.
Parameters: Parameters can be utilized to run solver parameter based studies.; For example, if you want to run a series of simulations with inlet velocity values of 0.5 m/s, 0.75 m/s, 1 m/s respectively, you can define a parameter on inlet velocity with the desired values. Using the HyperStudy Job Launcher DOE studies can be performed.
