Leak detection tool in SimLab for CFD simulations

Sagaya Prasanna Kumar Savarimuthu

To conduct a fluid flow simulation it is necessary to have a completely closed volume. Achieving this for a complex system with large number of parts is a challenging task. Even after doing the necessary clean up activities carefully (at CAD or mesh level), gaps/holes might be present in the model. To help users track down such gaps/holes, SimLab provides the "Identify leaks" tool which will detect  them based on the size input by the user. The attached video provides a demo of the how to use the "Identify Leaks" tool.
