...

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.

   1. For cell, assign density, specific heat capacity and thermal capacity

   2. Refer to this document: Assembly, Geometry and Material Properties of the Battery Box

3. Set-up a continua - physics model

   1. 3D model, gas, define flow (turbulent vs. laminar),

...

1. Define outline & surface for batteries and busbars

2. Add a region for the battery

   1. Applying appropriate materials to the parts being simulated

Creating Mesh:

1. Create an automated THIN mesh and assign the thin-mesh to the busbars

   1. Select appropriate bass size

   2. Minimum surface size - why did he choose 25%? Shem Kim + I’m not understanding why he chose the other settings

2. Created separate mesh for cooling

   1. Since we are using air-cooling, is this not-needed?

3. Created a prism mesh

   1. Assuming this is due to the video simulating pouch-cells not cylindrical cells

Volume mesh-pattern:

1. Select all-parts, then execute the mesh

2. Adding a “Weak-Contact Creator”

Configuring Battery-Cells (16:50)

To-do:

• Add nickel-strips to current battery moduleFix 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
