The team was sponsored during the design of MSXIV, which granted us a team account with a 32 core limit, over 40,000 core hours, and private projects. That may seem like an excessive number of core hours, especially when compared to a community account, however CFD simulations can easily consume that many hours. It is recommended that core hour use is planned out and that a portion of the team account’s core hours are reserved for advanced simulations (Cross winds, rotating wheels, ventilation, etc) if these results are desired. Tips for reducing core hour use will be discussed throughout.

I’ll divide the simulation workflow into 4 subsections, each one must be completed before moving on to the next one:

  • Setting up the project (and importing geometry)

  • Meshing

  • Simulating

  • Post-processing
