TOSCA
THE NONPARAMETRIC STRUCTURAL AND FLUID FLOW OPTIMIZER
Tosca Structure is a one-of-a-kind design-flexibility tool. During early-stage product development, Tosca will reveal a variety of design concepts—some of which you may never even have considered—that reduce the material weight of your product while maintaining, or even improving, its rigidity and durability. Alternatively, if you are working at a later design stage, where changes to a component are limited but you still need improvements in durability, Tosca will let you investigate stress-reducing alternatives that don't require major geometry changes.
Type of nonparametric optimization:
1. Topology, Find the design with maximum stiffness or maximum weight
2. Sizing, Reduce mass through optimized sheet thickness
3. Shape, Reduce local stress and increase durability
4. Bead, Increase stiffness or eigenfrequency of sheet metal structures
5. Fluid, Topology optimization of channel flow to reduce pressure drop
Tosca Fluid helps you develop topology-optimization driven design concepts for fluid-flow systems and components. Use its capabilities to create innovative design ideas automatically for a defined flow task and available design space. Tosca Fluid's unique technology helps you achieve the highest flow performance, quality and eco-efficiency
The benefits of using tosca structure and/or tosca fluid are many:
- • Accelerate conceptual design and reduce time-to-market
- • Support ready-to-manufacture product design
- • Save weight and ensure the highest result quality for reliable components
- • Avoid error-prone, time-consuming model simplification
- • Apply realistic simulation and handle nonlinearities directly within the optimization
- • Define optimization tasks interactively in intuitive graphic user interfaces
- • Create fluid-flow devices with reduced pressure drop and improved flow uniformity

XFLOW
FLUIDS SIMULATIONS TO IMPROVE REAL WORLD PERFORMANCE
XFlow offers particle-based Lattice-Boltzmann technology for high fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) applications as a part of SIMULIA’s Fluids Simulation portfolio. The state of-the-art technology of XFlow enables users to address complex CFD workflows involving high frequency transient simulations with real moving geometries, complex multiphase flows, free surface flows and fluid-structure interactions.
Its automatic lattice generation and adaptive refinement capabilities minimize user inputs thereby reducing time and effort in the meshing and pre-processing phase. This enables engineers to focus the majority of their efforts on design iteration and optimization. With XFlow’s discretization approach, surface complexity is also not a limiting factor. The underlying lattice can be controlled with a small set of parameters; the lattice is tolerant to the quality of the input geometry and adapts to the presence of moving parts.
KEY CAPABILITIES:
- • Single phase flow model
- • Free-surface flow model
- • Multiphase flow models: Particle-based tracking, Phase Field and VoF
- • Acoustics analysis
- • Thermal analysis
- • Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) boundary condition
- • Radiation Montecarlo model
- • Scalar transport
- • Discrete Phase Model (DPM)
- • Non-Newtonian flows
- • Advance boundary conditions, including porous media and fan model
- • Moving parts with enforced behavior
- • Moving parts with rigid body dynamics up to 6 degrees of freedom
- • Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) with Abaqus, Simpack and FMU
- • Vibroacoustics analysis with Wave6
- • Available on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform through Power’By approach using the XFlow Specialist role
Technology:
• Particle-based kinetic solver
The discretization approach in XFlow avoids the classic domain meshing process and the surface complexity is not a limiting factor anymore. The user can easily control the level of detail of the underlying lattice with a small set of parameters, the lattice is tolerant to the quality of the input geometry, and adapts to the presence of moving parts
• Adaptive Wake refinement
XFlow automatically adapts the resolved scales to the user requirements, refining the quality of the solution near the walls, dynamically adapting to the presence of strong gradients and refining the wake as the flow develops.
• Single Consistent wall model
XFlow uses a non-equilibrium wall function to model the boundary layer. This wall model takes into account the adverse pressure gradients responsible for flow separation, important in aerodynamics analysis. Moreover, the wall model is automatically disabled as soon as the lattice size near walls is small enough to resolve directly the flow in the boundary layer
