Hello everyone,
I'm working with Altair Inspire software and I'm experiencing some issues with DOE and implicit modeling. I'll try to introduce the problem.
Once I defined an implicit model, giroids in this case, parametrically for a part of the model, I attempted to set up a DOE that would allow me to determine the optimal values for the design variables of the giroids (such as cell pitch, cell size, etc.).
The DOE I defined considers some solid parts, a moving fluid, and varies the parameters of the implicit model with the goal of minimizing the temperatures of some critical solid components. I will leave a sketch below.
Unfortunately, the created implicit modeling is a meshed part (STL format) within the CAD model, so the DOE setup turns out to be not correct, since to a meshed part cannot be assigned any solid or fluid properties.
How can I solve this situation?
I was wondering if it would be possible to create a DOE that works with the design parameters of the implicit modelling, in this peculiar framework, and how can I convert the meshed version of the implicit modelling into a CAD, keeping the parametrization.
Thanks in advance!
Andrea
