Found a video for simulating a battery but it is all in Korean:
...
...
Set-up:
Make sure imported model contains all components - Nickel Strips, SigmaClad, Bus Bars and Battery
...
Assign all-components with material-properties - battery, copper, nickel, etc.
For cell, assign density, specific heat capacity and thermal capacity
...
Refer to this document: Assembly, Geometry and Material Properties of the Battery Box
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
...
Defining Regions:
Define outline & surface for batteries and busbars
Add a region for the battery
Applying appropriate materials to the parts being simulated
Creating Mesh:
Create an automated THIN mesh and assign the thin-mesh to the busbars
Select appropriate bass size
Minimum surface size - why did he choose 25%? Shem Kim + I’m not understanding why he chose the other settings
Created separate mesh for cooling
Since we are using air-cooling, is this not-needed?
Created a prism mesh
Assuming this is due to the video simulating pouch-cells not cylindrical cells
Volume mesh-pattern:
Select all-parts, then execute the mesh
Adding a “Weak-Contact Creator”
Configuring Battery-Cells (16:50)
To-do:
Fix Sigma-Clad & Nickel Strip collision on current CAD
Upload and save files to Bild
Re-upload model to StarCCM+
Follow above-steps to simulate for airflow
