Improving High Pressure Die Casting Designs

Improving High Pressure Die Casting Designs

The content for this article was contributed by Mark Littler of Littler Diecast Corporation.

고압 다이캐스팅 생산 업체인 Littler Diecast Corporation은 최근 우주 항공분야에서 전기 스위치 프레임을 재설계하고 다이캐스팅할 수 있었습니다. 이전에는 다른 제조업체에서 생산했기 때문에 많은 수의 주조에 결함 문제가 있었고 스크랩 비율을 낮추기 위해서는 새로운 디자인이 필요했습니다. Littler Diecast는 문제에 대한 사전 지식없이 시뮬레이션을 통해 결함을 찾아낼 수 있음을 입증할 수 있었습니다. 이것은 고객들이 그들에게 일을 맡길 수 있을 만큼 충분한 감명을 주었습니다.

Identifying the Problem

스위치는 A380 알루미늄으로 만들어졌으며 크기는 약 1¼ x 1x 1/2 입니다. Littler Diecast는 다공성 문제가 판과 굴뚝의 두 부분에서 문제가 되고 있음을 발견했습니다. 이는 고객이 확인한 것입니다. 각 부분이 채워지는 길 때문에 구멍이 각 위치에 형성되었습니다. 이 흐름은 그림 1과 같이 하나의 게이트를 통해 들어 와서 플레이트의 먼 쪽으로 분사한 다음 다시 채워지며 조기 응고로 인해 항상 닫히지 않는 현상으로 나타납니다. 굴뚝에서도 같은 문제가 발견되었습니다. 유체가 가장 먼 곳으로 분사되고 다시 채워지면 분리선을 통해 배출될 수 없는 갇힌 공기가 생성됩니다.

The Original Part Design

기존의 부품 설계에는 다른 문제가 있었습니다. lock washer와 플레이트 밑면의 밀봉된 표면주위에 많은 다이의 침식이 있었습니다. 부품 모서리에 있는 overflow는 결함이 흘러 나오기에 충분하지 않았습니다.

FLOW-3D를 사용하여 Littler Diecast는 유동의 거동을 분석하고 현상을 시각적으로 확인할 수 있었습니다. 이러한 분석으로 인해 조기 응고는 얇은 부분의 급속 냉각으로 인해 문제가 되었습니다. 만약 부품과 후면을 가로질러 유동이 흐른다면, 액체는 냉각되고 갇힌 공기를 만들어 낼 시간이 많이 필요합니다. 마지막으로 뜨거운 액체가 들어오는 것이 가장 좋습니다. 이를 염두에 두고 Littler Diecast는 여러 가지 아이디어를 테스트하고 문제의 가능성을 최소화하고 프로세스 창을 극대화 한 디자인을 달성했습니다.

The Final Part Design

세 가지 주요 설계 변경 후 부품 품질이 크게 향상되었습니다. 첫째, 게이트와 러너를 세 개의 게이트를 통해 들어갈 수 있도록 재설계하였습니다. 이것은 큰 오버플로를 생성하는 두 번째 설계 변경과 함께, 온도가 가장 높은 유체가 마지막으로 들어갈 수 있으며 플레이트에 역류가 훨씬 적다는 것을 의미했습니다. 셋째, 진입 각도와 게이트 위치가 변경되어 역류를 방지하는데 도움이 되었습니다.

또한, 이 새로운 디자인은 공구에서 다이의 침식될 수 있는 가능성을 줄였습니다. 대신 유체는 굴뚝의 중심구멍에 사용된 코어 핀 위로 분사됩니다. 코어 핀은 금형 강철을 수리하는 것보다 훨씬 쉽고 빠르게 교체할 수 있습니다. 이러한 금형 설계 변경은 새로운 금형을 절단하기 전에 이루어졌으며 금형 제작이 완료된 후에 문제가 발견되면 비용이 많이 드는 프로세스를 제거하였습니다.

Physical Verification

생산 도구의 시운전 후 Littler Diecast는 short shots, x-rays 및 파괴 테스트를 통해 설계 변경 사항을 확인할 수 있었습니다. short shot은 균형 잡힌 러너를 보여 주었으며 엑스레이에는 다공성이 보이지 않았습니다. 파단 테스트는 공극이 없는 일정한 결정립 조직을 보여 주었고, 파손은 재료의 강도 때문이 아니라 주조 결함 때문인 것으로 나타났습니다.

High Pressure Die Casting

HPDC(High Pressure Die Casting)는 주조 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어의 가장 큰 당면 과제 중 일부입니다. FLOW-3D CAST는 사용자가 매우 정확한 TruVOF를 포함하여, 채우기 프로세스를 비판적으로 분석할 수 있도록 금형 채우기 시뮬레이션의 정확성을 크게 향상시키는 몇 가지 기능을 가지고 있습니다. 움직이는 금속 전면을 추적하기 위한 알고리즘과, 일반적으로 고압 다이캐스팅과 관련된 복잡한 형상을 정확하게 나타내는 FAVOR™ 또한 FLOW-3D CAST는 공기 침입, 미세 기공, 접힘 및 개재물 등의 결함을 탐지하기위한 수많은 모델을 보유하고 있습니다.

Thermal Die Cycling

수천개의 주물을 생산하기 위해 동일한 금형을 반복적으로 사용하기 때문에, 고압 다이캐스팅에는 열 다이 사이클 시뮬레이션이 필수적입니다. 금형의 뒤틀림으로 인해 금형 온도가 일정하게 유지되어 치수 불안정을 초래합니다. FLOW-3D CAST를 사용하면 다이 가열, 분사 및 공기 블로우-오프 효과와 냉각 채널 및 삽입물의 위치를 적절하게 예상해서 온도 분포 결과가 정확하고 효과적일 수 있습니다

Shot Sleeve Optimization

고압 다이캐스팅 시, 샷 실린더는 용탕을 신속하게 금형 안으로 밀어 넣습니다. 수평 방향으로 향하여, 용탕은 상단의 주입구를 통해 그 안으로 주입되고 피스톤은 용탕을 실린더 아래로 밀어낸다. 올바르게 설계된 샷 슬리브 프로파일의 목적은 용탕을 금형에 최대한 빨리 밀어 넣어, 불완전하거나 결함 있는 주입을 유발하는 조기 응고를 방지하는 것입니다. 그러나 피스톤이 너무 빠르게 움직이면 용탕이 접혀 최종 주조 부품에 내부 결함으로 나타날 수 있는 공기가 갇힙니다.

FLOW-3D CAST를 사용하여 몇 분 내에 여러 샷 프로파일을 계산할 수 있습니다. 여기에 표시된 것은 두가지 샷 프로파일의 시뮬레이션입니다. 일정한 속도의 2단계 프로세스와 FLOW-3D CAST내에서 상당한 차이를 보이는 점진적 가속 데이터로 계산된 또 다른 것입니다.

Filling Simulations

가장 복잡한 고압 다이캐스팅 문제는 용탕이 고압에서 고속으로 금형 내부로 들어갈 때 용탕을 정확하게 추적하는 것입니다. 이로 인해 용탕이 공동 현상에 튀는 것은 소프트웨어의 결함 예측에 상당한 어려움을 겪게 됩니다. TruVOF 방법을 사용하면 게이트의 위치를 파악하여 최적의 흐름 패턴, 오버 플로우의 위치 및 초기 응고 현상과 결함 여부를 확인할 수 있습니다.

Modeling Solidification

FLOW-3D CAST는 엔지니어가 최종 부품의 품질에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 내부 다공성의 형성을 조사하는 데 도움이 됩니다. 또한 FLOW-3D CAST를 사용하면 이종 합금의 편석에 대한 조사가 가능합니다. 마지막으로, 온도 이력에 대한 자세한 설명을 통해 냉각 라인을 추가해야 하는지 또는 추가해야 하는지 여부와 초기 금속 온도를 변경해야 하는지 여부를 판단할 수 있습니다. FLOW-3D CAST를 통해 엔지니어는 내부 기공, 열응력 및 이종 합금 편석의 형성 여부를 조사할 수 있습니다.

High Pressure Die Casting Simulations

Validations

금속 주조 설계 과정에서 FLOW-3D CAST의 사용은 회사의 비용 절감 방안을 제시하여 수익성을 개선할 수 있습니다. FLOW-3D CAST 는 엔지니어와 설계자에게 경험과 전문지식을 향상시킬 수 있는 강력한 도구가 될 수 있습니다. 보통 수익성은 비용 절감과 비용 회피에서 찾을 수 있습니다. 지금, 품질과 생산성 문제는 제품개발 단계에서 다양한 시뮬레이션 통해 짧은 공정시간, 낮은 비용으로 해결 할 수 있는 방안을 찾을 수 있습니다. 새로운 개발도구인 FLOW-3D CAST의 효율성은 생산이 시작되기 전에 문제를 해결할 수 있는 방안을 제시하여 생산성을 크게 개선할 수 있습니다.

Ladle Pour

샷 슬리브 공정을 최적화하는 것은 고품질 부품을 확보하는 데 필수적입니다. FLOW-3D CAST의 시뮬레이션 결과와 실제 사례의 비교를 통해, 시뮬레이션을 사용하여 엔지니어가 값 비싼 툴링을 제작하기 전에 설계를 개선하는 방법을 강조합니다. FLOW-3D CAST는 프로세스 전반에 걸쳐 유체의 움직임을 정확하게 포착할 수 있으므로, 엔지니어가 실제 레들 주입 공정에서 신속하게 파악할 수 있습니다. 시뮬레이션은 Nemak Poland Sp. z o.o로부터 제공받았습니다.

ALL NEW FLOW-3D CAST v5

ALL NEW FLOW-3D CAST v5

ALL NEW FLOW-3D CAST v5 는 금속 주조 시뮬레이션 및 공정 모델링에 있어 큰 발전입니다. 이제 FLOW-3D CAST는 시뮬레이션 할 프로세스를 선택할 수 있으며, 소프트웨어는 적절한 프로세스 매개 변수, 지오메트리 유형 및 합리적인 기본 값을 제공합니다. 이렇게 하면 시뮬레이션 설정이 상당히 간소화됩니다. 또한 FLOW-3D CAST의 강력한 시뮬레이션 엔진과 결함 예측을 위한 새로운 도구는 설계 주기를 단축하고 비용을 절감하는 통찰력을 제공합니다. 대표적인 개발 기능으로 응고 시뮬레이션을 위한 열 계수 및 핫 스팟 식별 출력, 갇혀 있는 가스를 식별하고 환기 효율을 예측하기 위한 결함 채우기 도구 등이 포함됩니다. 그리고 더 빠르고 더 강력한 압력과 및 응력 해소 기능이 모두 포함합니다.

ALL NEW FLOW-3D CAST v5 는 관련 프로세스가 포함된 Suite제품으로 제공됩니다. 영구 금형 제품군은 중력 다이 캐스팅, 저압 다이캐스팅(LPDC), 틸트 주입 주조와 같은 프로세스 작업 공간을 포함합니다. 각 프로세스에 대해 사용자 인터페이스는 특정 프로세스와 관련된 내용만 표시합니다. 모래 주조 Suite에는 중력 사형 주조 및 저압 사형 주조(LPSC)와 같은 프로세스가 포함되어 있습니다. 소실 폼 제품 군에는 사형 주조 Suite의 모든 것과 소실 폼 공정 작업 공간이 포함됩니다.

Defect Prediction / 결함 예측

Identify Filling Defects using Particles 결함 예측 및 입자를 이용한 주입 결함 식별

파티클을 사용하는 FLOW-3D CAST v5를 통해 유입된 가스로 인한 충전 결함을 식별하는 것이 훨씬 쉬워 졌습니다. 결함을 식별하기가 훨씬 용이할 뿐만 아니라, 결함 예측에 따른 계산 비용도 크게 절감되었습니다.

붕괴된 가스 지역을 나타내는 보이드 입자가 도입되었습니다. 이전에 붕괴된 가스 영역은 너무 압축되어 수치 메쉬에서 해결할 수 없으면 시뮬레이션에서 사라졌습니다. 보이드 입자는 작은 기포처럼 작용하며 드래그와 압력을 통해 금속과 상호 작용합니다. 주변의 금속 압력에 따라 크기가 변하며, 주입이 끝난 후 최종 위치를 보면 공기 침투 및 산화물로 인한 잠재적인 결함이 있음을 알 수 있습니다.

Predict filling defects caused by entrapped gas using the Particle Model.

Metal/Wall Contact Time 금속/벽 접촉 시간

벽면 접촉 시간은 금형 표면에서 다른 부위보다 금속에 더 오래 노출된 부위를 식별하는 데 유용합니다. 금속 접촉 시간은 금속이 고체 구성 요소와 접촉한 시간을 나타냅니다. 예를 들어 모래 입자가 핵분해 부위의 역할을 하기 때문에 미세 먼지가 발생할 수 있습니다. 개별 솔리드 구성 요소와의 금속 접촉 시간 출력이 모든 구성 요소와의 접촉 시간을 포함하도록 확장되었습니다. 접촉 시간 계산은 출력 탭에서 벽 접촉 시간을 선택하여 활성화합니다.

Solidification Defect Identification 응고 결함 식별

일반적으로 라이저 크기 조정에 사용되는 열 모듈은 이제 응고 시뮬레이션에서 출력됩니다.

Risers will likely need to be placed on the circled regions.

Hot Spots 핫 스팟

또 다른 결과인 “핫 스팟”은 라이저를 찾고 크기를 조정하며, 응고 관련 결함의 가능성을 식별하는 데 유용합니다. 핫 스팟은 최종적으로 응고된 부위를 나타냅니다. 이것들은 입자들로 표현되고 뜨거운 점 크기에 의해 색깔이 변하기도 합니다. 라이저는 핫 스팟 크기가 가장 큰 곳에 배치해야 합니다.

Porosity Analysis Tool

FlowSight의 새로운 Porosity Analysis Tool은 실제적인 측면에서 porosity-related 결점을 식별합니다. 결점은 이제 순 볼륨, 최대 선형 범위, 모양 인자 및 total count로 식별됩니다.

New defect identification tools allow users to analyze porosity.

Arbitrary 2D Clips 임의 2D 클립

기능 지향적인 2D 클립은 결함을 찾기 위해 전면적으로 살펴 볼 때 유용합니다. 이전에는 클립에 표시된 금속 영역이 솔리드에 의해 점유된 셀로 확장되었습니다. 잡식의 FLOW-3D CAST v5에서 이 클립은 구성 요소를 숨기는 옵션을 선택해야만 열린 공간(예:주조 부품)의 금속을 보여 줄 수 있습니다.

Intensification Pressure 강화 압력

고압 주조 시뮬레이션에 지정된 강화 압력은 이제 매크로 및 마이크로 Porosity모델 모두에 결합되어 형성 사이의 보다 현실적인 관계를 형성합니다. 이러한 결함의 크기 및 플런저에 의해 가해지는 압력의 크기입니다.

Adjusting Shrinkage Porosity 수축 기공 조절

사용자가 금속의 특성을 수정할 필요 없이 수축 다공성의 양과 크기를 미세 조정할 수 있도록 수축 조정 계수가 추가되었습니다. 계수를 사용하면 응고 중에 체적 수축의 양을 전화로 설정하거나 줄일 수 있습니다.

Gas Pressure and Venting Efficiency 가스 압력 및 밴트 효율성 검토

사용자가 충전 결함을 식별하고 다이캐스트에서 밴트 시스템을 설계하는 데 도움을 주기 위해 마지막 국부적인 가스 압력 및 밴트 효율성 검토 결과가 주조 시뮬레이션 출력에 추가되었습니다. 가스 압력은 셀이 금속으로 채워지기 전에 셀의 마지막 보이드 압력을 기록하며, 밴트 효율은 환기구를 배치하는 것이 밴트 위치에서 공기를 배출하는 데 가장 효율적인 영역을 보여 줍니다.

Databases 데이터베이스

주조 공정에서 일반적으로 사용되는 정보의 데이터베이스는 설정 오류를 줄이고 시뮬레이션 workflow 를 개선합니다.

Configurable Simulation Monitor 구성 가능한 시뮬레이션 모니터

시뮬레이션을 실행할 때 발생하는 중요하지만 종종 힘든 작업은 시뮬레이션을 모니터링하는 것입니다. FLOW-3D CAST를 사용하면 다음과 같은 일반적인 시뮬레이션 목표를 모니터링할 수 있습니다.

게이트 속도
주형 내 고상 분율
최저/최고 용탕 온도 및 금형 온도
다양한 프로브 위치에서의 온도
시뮬레이션 진단(예:시간 스텝, 안정성 한계)

Plotting Capabilities Plotting기능

이제 시뮬레이션 관리자에는 더 많은 플롯 기능이 포함됩니다. 플롯은 사용자가 구성할 수 있으며 구성은 다른 시뮬레이션에서 사용하기 위해 데이터베이스에 저장됩니다. 사용자는 시뮬레이션 런타임 그래프와 history-data 에서 모니터링할 이력 데이터 변수를 지정할 수 있습니다. 다중 변수를 각 그래프에 입력합니다.

Conforming Meshes

임의 형상의 활성 계산 영역을 정의할 수 있도록 적합한 메쉬 기능이 확장되었습니다. 이는 메쉬 블록이 준수할 수 있는 열린 볼륨과 솔리드 볼륨을 모두 포함하여 계산 도메인의 영역을 정의하는 meshing구성 요소라고 하는 새로운 유형의 지오메트리 구성 요소를 사용합니다.
메쉬 블록은 냉각 채널이나 공동에 선택적으로 조합할 수 있어 사용자가 이러한 기하학적 객체에 대해 최적의 해상도를 선택할 수 있습니다. 이제 확인할 수 있는 메쉬가 FAVORize 탭에 표시될 수 있습니다.

Summary Views of Components/Cooling Channels

FLOW-3D CAST v5의 인터페이스는 주조 시뮬레이션에서 다양한 형상 구성 요소를 꽉 차게 보여줍니다. 2개의 새로운 형상 요약 뷰인 구성 요소 요약 뷰와 냉각 채널 요약 뷰는 기하학적 구성 요소 및 냉각 채널의 플라이 아웃을 제공하여 사용자가 신속하게 수행할 수 있도록 합니다. 중요 설정을 한 눈에 파악하고 필요한 경우 변경 할 수 있습니다.

Under the Hood

FLOW-3D CAST의 많은 강력한 구성 요소들은 Solver Engine이라고 부르는 것 들에서 중요합니다. 아래에서는 이면에서 무거운 작업을 수행하는 데 도움이 되는 몇가지 중요한 사항을 설명합니다.

Thermal Die Cycling (TDC) Model TDC(열 다이 사이클)모델

열 다이 사이클 시뮬레이션의 주입/응고 단계는 균일하지 않은 캐비티 온도를 사용하여 개선할 수 있습니다. 이제 캐비티에 있는 금속의 초기 온도는 재시작 중에 채우기 시뮬레이션을 통해 지정하거나 초기 유체 영역을 사용하는 사용자 정의 분포에서 지정할 수 있습니다. 이 기능은 옵션으로 사용할 수 있는 균일한 초기 금속 온도에 비해 다이 사이클링의 열해석의 정확성과 현실성을 높여줍니다.

Melt temperatures in the casting cavity read from a filling simulation are applied to ejector die during filling/solidification stage of thermal die cycling simulation.

Heat Transfer Coefficient Calculator for Spray Cooling 분사 냉각을 위한 열 전달 계수 계산기

스프레이 유체와 다이 표면 사이의 열 전달 계수(HTC)를 추정하는 것은 어려운 일입니다. 계산 또는 측정을 통해 값을 사용할 수 있는 경우 사용자는 이러한 값을 스프레이 거리 및 각도의 함수로 직접 지정할 수 있습니다. 새로운 기능을 통해 노즐의 스프레이 액의 유량을 기준으로 HTC를 동적으로 계산할 수 있습니다. 단일 조정 계수를 통해 스프레이 유출량을 기준으로 HTC를 미세 조정할 수 있습니다.

HPDC (High Pressure Die Casting, 고압다이캐스팅)

주조 기술 중 하나인 고압 다이 캐스팅 해석시 다른 많은 주조해석 소프트웨어에서 큰 문제들이 나타납니다. 충진되어야 할 부분은 대부분 매우 얇은 두께를 가지고 있어서 형상 구현에 필요한 격자의 수가 크게 증가되어야 합니다. 무엇보다도 금속은 높은 압력과 매우 빠른 속도로 금형안의 빈 공간에 충진됩니다. 금형 내부로 분사되고 비산하는 유동은 이 과정에서 혼입 된 공기로 인한 기포결함, 제품이 완전히 충진되기 전에 냉각이 시작하면서 발생하는 탕주름과 산화물 결함으로 이어질 수 있습니다. FLOW-3D는 실질적인 금형 충진 해석의 정밀도를 향상시키기 위해 정확성이 고도로 향상된 TruVOF™ 추적기법과 복잡한 형상을 모델링하는FAVOR ™ 기법을 포함하고 있습니다. 또한 FLOW-3D는 혼입 된 공기, 열 응력, 미세 결함 영역을 검출하기 위한 다양한 모델을 가지고 있습니다.

Thermal Die Cycling (금형온도분포, 금형싸이클링)

Die cycling 해석은 다이캐스팅 금형이 수천 개의 제품 생산에 반복적으로 사용되기 때문에 고압 다이 캐스팅에 필수적인 공정입니다. 생산시 모든 주조품에 대해서 동일한 금형 온도를 유지하는 것은 매우 중요한데, 이는 금형온도에 따라 주조품의 결괌이 발생할 수 있기 때문입니다. FLOW-3D는 다이캐스팅 싸이클에서 발생하는 금형 가열(충진, 응고), 스프레이, 에어 블로우로부터 온도 분포를 해석하므로 사용자는 냉각 채널의 위치를 정확하고 효과적으로 예측할 수 있습니다.

Shot Sleeve Optimization (슬리브 유동 최적화)

고압다이캐스팅에서 슬리브는 금형 속에 용탕을 빠르게 밀어넣는 데 사용됩니다. 일반적으로 슬리브는 수평으로 위치되고, 용탕은 슬리브 상면의 주입구를 통해 부어집니다. 플런저는 금형 반대편에서 슬리브를 통해 금형 안쪽으로 용탕을 밀어 넣게 됩니다. 적절하게 설계된 플런저 이동조건은 슬리브 내부의 공기 혼입을 최소화하고 슬리브에서의 응고를 피하기 위해 가능한 한 빨리 금형에 용탕을 충진하게 설계되어야 합니다. 하지만, 피스톤이 너무 빨리 이동하는 경우, 슬리브 내에서 용탕의 겹침현상이 발생하여 주조품에 공기 갇힘 결함이 나타날 수 있습니다. FLOW-3D는 다이캐스팅 해석시 플런저 이동에 따른 슬리브 내부의 유동을 실제와 동일하게 반영하여 이와 같은 기포 결함을 최소화할 수 있습니다.

Filling Simulations (충진해석)

고압 다이 캐스팅을 해석할 때, 가장 어려운 과제는 고압 및 고속으로 금형에 충진되는 용탕의 유동을 정확하게 추적하는 것입니다. 많은 주조해석 소프트웨어에서 용탕의 분사와 비산을 정확하게 모사하지 못하는 것이 제품의 결함 예측에 가장 큰 장애물이됩니다. FLOW-3D의 TruVOF™ method는 설계 엔지니어들이 금형내부에서 최적의 유동 패턴을 유도하기 위해 게이트의 위치를 확인하고, 오버 플로우의 위치를 확인하는데 핵심적인 역할을 할 수 있습니다.

FLOW-3D는 엔지니어로 하여금 최종 제품의 품질에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 내부 기공(porosity)의 발생을 알수 있도록 합니다. FLOW-3D는 2원계합금(binary alloy)의 편석(segregation)을 해석할 수 있습니다. 해석에 의한 온도 이력은 냉금(chill) 또는 냉각라인(cooling line)이 추가되거나 수정 될 필요가 있는지, 초기 용탕 온도를 변경해야 하는지 등을 결정하는데 도움을 줍니다. FLOW-3D는 내부 미세수축공의 형성, 열응력 및 2원계합금의 편석을 예측할 수 있습니다.

FlowSight

FlowSight는 FLOW-3D및 FLOW-3D CAST결과의 정교한 시각화를 제공하도록 설계된 고급 후 처리 도구입니다. FlowSight는 직관적인 후처리 인터페이스 내에서 우수한 결과 분석 기능을 갖춘 모델을 제공합니다. 스플 라인 경로를 따라 임의의 2D클립, 3D클립 및 투명도, 볼륨 렌더링, 고급 데이터 타임 시리즈 플로팅, 간소화 및 벡터 플롯은 사용 가능한 놀라운 도구의 일부에 불과합니다. FlowSight를 사용하면 여러 뷰 포트와 동적 객체 시각화 도구로 구성된 풍부한 기능 세트와 결합되어 있으므로 엔지니어는 분석 및 프레젠테이션 요구 사항에 맞게 CFD결과를 최대한 활용할 수 있습니다.

FlowSight는 모든 FLOW-3D및 FLOW-3D CAST라이센스에 포함되어 추가비용 없이 사용할 수 있습니다.

새로운–스플 라인 클립!

FlowSight의 스플라인 클립 기능을 사용하면 복잡한 곡면을 따라 클립을 생성할 수 있습니다. ogee weir 위로 물이 흐르는 시뮬레이션에서, 스플 라인은 ogee weir의 표면을 따라 형성됩니다. 그런 다음 스플 라인이 돌출되어 웨어 표면을 따라 물의 자유 표면 높이에 의해 색상이 지정된 클립을 생성합니다.

키 프레임 기능

크고 복잡한 시뮬레이션을 분석 할 때 매우 일반적인 문제는 관심 영역이 형상에 의해 가려지거나 시뮬레이션이 시간이 지남에 따라 변경됨에 따라 관심 영역이 변경 될 수 있다는 것입니다. 키 프레임은 분석 중에 형상을 “분리되도록”허용하고 시점이 시간과 공간을 통해 이동할 수 있도록 하여 이 문제를 해결합니다.

이 애니메이션은 FlowSight의 키 프레임 기능을 사용하여 충전하는 동안 다이 반쪽을 “시각적으로”열고 다이를 채우는 금속을 표시하면서 다이 표면에 고체 온도를 표시하는 방법을 보여줍니다.

Particle Visualization

FlowSight는 파티클(입자) 시각화 기능을 완벽하게 갖추고 있습니다. 입자는 입자 직경, 입자 밀도, 입자 수명, 속도 및 관련성이 있는 기타 변수에 의해 색상이 지정될 수 있습니다. 이 경우, 입자는 각각의 직경의 크기에 의해 착색됩니다.

속도 벡터 필드

FlowSight는 사용자에게 평면 또는 도메인 전체에 걸친 전체 볼륨 속도 및 방향 분석에 속도 벡터 필드를 시각화하는 옵션을 제공합니다. 사용자 지정 가능한 벡터 필드를 사용하면 다양한 색상 지정 및 밀도 조정이 가능하여 선명도를 높일 수 있습니다.

Streamlines & Pathlines

FlowSight의 유선(Streamlines) 기능은 복잡한 동적 패턴을 완전한 충실도로 시각화하여 유동장 속도 방향에 대해 실시간 스냅 샷을 제공합니다. 경로 선(Pathlines)은 시간을 따른 유체 입자의 궤적을 시뮬레이션하는 동안, 히스토리 라인은 유동장에서 유체 입자를 애니메이션 합니다.

Iso-surfaces

Iso-surfaces 은 유체 및 고체 표면을 시각화하는 강력하고 빠른 방법으로, 일정한 난류 에너지 영역을 표시하는 데 적합합니다.

Volume Render

iso-surface에서만 변수를 표시하는 대신 사용자 지정 가능한 볼륨 맵을 사용하여 볼륨 전체에 걸쳐 변수를 표시합니다. 그림에 표시된 바와 같이 각 기포와 주변 액체의 변형률 크기는 볼륨 렌더링과 함께 표시됩니다.

Visualizing Non-inertial Reference Frame Motion

Non-inertial reference frame visualization는 편리한 시뮬레이션 설정을 제공하고 계산 시간을 단축하며 사용자가 사실적인 방식으로 모델을 시각화 할 수 있게합니다.

2D Clips

2D 클립은 모든 단면 평면에서 유체 매개 변수를 시각화하는 데 사용됩니다.

3D Clipping

3D 클리핑 도구를 사용하면 사용자가 6 개 방향 모두에서 등면을 동시에 슬라이스 할 수 있으며, 높은 결함 영역을 감지하고 유체 및 고체 영역 내부의 온도, 압력, 속도 프로파일을 시각화하는 데 유용합니다.

Arbitrary Clips

평면, 원통형, 상자, 원뿔형, 구형 및 간소화된 표면에 대한 시각화를 포함하여 광범위한 유연성으로 표면 뷰를 분석할 수 있습니다. 유체 흐름이 평면이 아닌 표면에 대한 시각화가 필요한 경우 유용합니다. 임의 클립을 사용하면 연속적으로 여러 클립을 만들 수도 있습니다.

Probe Data

포인트 프로브는 시간에 따른 변수의 진화를 보여주고, 라인 프로브는 거리에 따른 변수 값의 변화를 반환합니다. 오른쪽, 프로브는 유체의 응고 비율을 보여줍니다.

Vortex Cores

와류 코어 식별에 사용할 수있는 두 가지 옵션인 와류 및 고유 분석을 통해 코어 강도에 따라 필터링 가능한 결과 생성이 가능합니다.

엔지니어들은 연구를 위해 다양한 시각화 방법을 사용합니다. 유체 흐름에서 와류 코어의 분석은 중요한 문제로, 와류 코어는 속도 필드 내에 와류 구조 (중앙 트레이스)를 나타내는 선 입니다. 기술적으로, FlowSight는 와류 방법 및 고유치 분석에서 속도 벡터와 소용돌이 벡터의 속도장에서의 식별위치는 평행합니다. FlowSight는 사용자에게 와류 코어 식별을 위한 두 가지 옵션을 제공합니다. 코어는 특정 강도 이상 또는 이하로 FlowSight에서 필터링 될 수 있습니다. 코어는 일반적으로 코어 주위에 회전 또는 단순히 순환 강도의 비율에 의해 채색됩니다. 아래의 예에서는, 와류 코어 고유치 값 분석을 이용하여 생성됩니다. 강한 코어는 소용돌이의 중심에 형성되어있는 것을 알 수 있습니다. 이를 통해 사용자는 펌프로 공기 흡입의 가능성을 연구 할 수 있습니다. 코어가 너무 강한 경우, 공기는 강한 와류로 인해 야기되는 열린 통로로부터 흡입될 수 있습니다.

History Data

그래프 도구는 일반적인 히스토리, 진단 및 메시 종속 데이터에 강력한 수준의 분석을 제공하여 서로 다른 시뮬레이션 데이터를 상대적으로 보여줍니다.
