4.4 Modeling enhancements for Abaqus/CFD

Products: Abaqus/CFD Abaqus/CAE

Benefits: New features in several modules of Abaqus/CAE allow the creation of fluid parts and sections for Abaqus/CFD analyses.

Description: The new fluid part type is available only in Abaqus/CFD models (see “Model types in Abaqus/CAE,” Section 4.1). A three-dimensional fluid part can be flexibly designed as an extruded, revolved, or swept sketch in Abaqus/CAE.

Fluid sections are used to define the properties of a fluid part in an Abaqus/CFD model. The section assigns material properties to a fluid part.
