1. Import Geometry - surface mesh

   1. File >> Import >> Import Surface Mesh (.x_t) file

      1. Alternatively, import into the 3D CAD editor > provides more control

2. Geometry preparation - imported mesh is often inadequate for sims

   1. Surface Repair (manual)

   2. Surface Wrapper

   3. Geometry Operations (Boolean, split faces)

   4. Mesh Operations (Unite, intersect, extract volume)

3. Specify regions/boundaries

4. Meshing

   1. surface

   2. volume/domain

5. Physics

6. Boundary Condition

7. Solver Settings

8. Data Analysis

   1. reports

   2. scenes

found a video for simulating a battery but it is in Korean

• 1. Make sure imported model contains all components - Nickel Strips, SigmaClad, Bus Bars and Battery

• 2. Assign all-components with material-properties - battery, copper, nickel, etc.

  • For cell, assign density, specific heat capacity and thermal capacity

• 3. Set-up a continua - physics model

  • 3D model, gas, define flow (turbulent vs. laminar),

• Exported Parasolid for Module and uploaded to Bild 

• Existing Sim model lives on Nicole's Computer 

• Emailed professor Fue Lien asking for help, he said he's coming back to Waterloo in Early December 

• For now, looking up YouTube/Confluence for how to Sim

  • asked Shem to translate a video for me

• Goal: Come up with a model for the prof to look up in early December
