Problem to parameterize my model on Hypermesh

Arnaud_01

I want to create a rectangular box in Hypermesh CFD to be used as a cooling system. There will be an inlet and an outlet for the fluid entering and exiting the box. Inside the box, there are N cylinders, each with three parameters: their diameter, their x-coordinate, and their y-coordinate in the rectangular plane. I can create these parameters in my sketch in Hypermesh CFD under ‘variables’, but when I extrude my cylinders, an error occurs when I change the values of these parameters, and my cylinders do not move.

I know I could use another software like Catia to create these parameters, but I want to use Hyperstudy to import these parameters to optimize my system by modifying them. I want Hyperstudy to change the parameters, mesh my model, calculate the thermal transfer, and then repeat the process with new parameter values.

Is it possible to import both a model from Catia with the parameters and the model from Hypermesh CFD, and instruct Hyperstudy to update the Hypermesh CFD model when I change the parameters in the Catia model? Or is it possible to do this solely with Hypermesh? Are there any other solutions?

Hello @Arnaud_01 ,

we did in the past some projects to combine parametrized CATIA files and HyperMesh. I'll need to check internally if we can propose the same for HyperMesh CFD.

As such type of requests quickly involve sensitive data, I may ask you to create a support request so that we can go deeper in your process/requirements

Michael
