Hello, 

 

I'm trying to set up a model with an enclosure being cooled by multiple fans. I've also set up a simplified model to ensure my fans are set up properly and to troubleshoot any errors. I've defined a single fan component in my simplified model and it runs, but the solution does not look as it should. Can anybody tell me how I should set up a simple fan component in AcuConsole/AcuSolve? 

 

Setup:

Direction of Fan:

Results:

    If you have yet not looked in the the tutorial manual (Altair_AcuSolve_2018_Tutorial_Manual.pdf), I would suggest for a start going through the tutorial: 5.4 ACU-5100: Modeling of Fan_Component: Axial Fan (p. 643)
