Element Types for CFD-ACE+ Stress Module

CFD-ACE+ can utilize many different types of elements when solving stress simulations using the built-in finite element stress module. This note gives you a brief overview of the currently existing element types and some tips on how and when to use each type.

Graphical Support for CFD-ACE+ MOD File

The CFD-ACE+ solver supports solution control parameters being adjusted during the solution process. This is useful for changing relaxation, the number of iterations and several other quantities (See Appendix A: CFD-ACE+ Files in the User Manual section of the WebHelp for the full list of support variables.)

Turbulence Start-up Option in CD-ACE+ and CFD-CADalyzer

Turbulent flow can be hard to stabilize during the first iterations. Fortunately, a solution control feature exists in CFD-ACE+ and CADalyzer that can aid the convergence of turbulent cases.

How to Model DC Plasma Discharge Using CFD-ACE+

There is no direct option in CFD-ACE-GUI to set up a DC plasma discharge model, but the existing CCP solver can be used to model a DC Plasma discharge problem.
