We know first hand the challenges of performing a CFD simulation. We don't just develop CFD software....we use it!  Our goal is always to make things simpler, faster, and less error prone.  We've continued that theme in the 2022.1 release of HyperWorks CFD and added even more tools to help build your models and interrogate their results more efficiently.  Check out what's new in the update video!

    Hi.

    At min 22:01 (next release target), for meshing, what is the "arbitrary refinement zone"? Is it same as Adaptive mesh refinement zone where mesh is become smaller or bigger dynamically at certain gradient i.e. pressure-velocity gradient?

    Hi Nadzrin,

    Adaptive mesh refinement is in long term horizon for us. Arbitrary refinement zone mentioned in slides will provide user capability to define arbitrary shaped virtual refinement zones based on geometry references.

    It will be useful in multiple scenarios - 1) creating body fitted refinement zones - saving mesh count. 2) Creating directional refinement starting from specific geometry 3) If have multiple variant of cad with similar setup - and if you define arbitrary refinement zones with geometry references like metadata, it can change shape automatically.

    Thanks for the clarification.
