tdynwizard manual
Tdyn wizard helps you to easily generate control volume around body or bodies, assign the main data, generate a mesh and perform the simulation. Moreover, Tdyn wizard will help you in the post-processing and reporting the results.
Tdyn wizard can be accessed at any time through the menu option Utilities>Tdyn Wizard>Tdyn Wizard
To make the Tdyn wizard understand the problem, the geometry body has to be split in different layers as described in the following steps.
Layers split a drawing into separate pieces. Every entity can only belong to one single layer.
Following are different cases of problems solved by the Tdyn Wizard:
Case 1. Semi-submerged floating body with free surface. Geometry and boundary conditions with symmetry in y=yo plane. Main flow in +x or -x direction. RANSOL and NAVAL modules required. | Case 2. Submerged body without free surface. Geometry and boundary conditions with symmetry in y=yo plane. Main flow in +x or -x direction. RANSOL module required. |
Case 3. Semi-submerged floating body with free surface. Geometry and boundary conditions without symmetry. Main flow in +x or -x direction. RANSOL and NAVAL modules required | Case 4. Submerged body without free surface. Geometry and boundary conditions without symmetry. Main flow in +x or -x direction. RANSOL module required. |

Layers window can be accessed through the menu option Utilities>Layers.
Detailed information on how to create geometry can be found in the help section Geometry (Help>Help).
Following is the list of basic commands, available in the Layers window:
New: Create a new layer. A new layer will automatically be selected as 'Layer To Use'. Layer To Use: Select a layer to be used as default. All new geometry entities will be created within this layer. Delete: Delete a layer. A layer can only be deleted if it doesn't include any entities. Rename: Change the name of a layer. Send To: Moves entities to a new layer. No new entities are created. | |
