FEM ConstraintInitialFlowVelocity
Description
Creates an initial flow velocity condition for a fluid flow analysis.
Usage
- Press the
Initial flow velocity condition button or select the menu Model → Fluid boundary conditions →
Initial flow velocity condition.
- Enter an initial flow velocity value for the analysis. The value is entered as a combination of the 3 main cartesian vectors components (X,Y,Z).
- For a 3D analysis, select a \'solid\' (body) from your model, for a 2D analysis select a face. However, it is also possible to select a face (e.g. the inlet of a pipe) in 3D or an edge in 2D.
Formulas
For a description how to input formulas, see section Formulas in the page for the Flow velocity constraint.
Notes
In simple analyses, it is not necessary to specify the initial flow velocity, however it is recommended as best practice.
