<Step 1>
Make a Box(Pack) & 24 Cylinders(Cells)
HOW
1.make 'Fluid Flow(Fluent)' tool box
2.click 'Geometry-DesignModeler'
3.set the coordinates system and create 'Box' and 'Cylinders' by using 'Create-Primitives' and typing specificated numbers on the 'Details View'
※ We need total 48 cylinder parts ( 24 for cells with radius 9 and 24 for cell casings with radius 9.5)
<Step 2>
Make Inlet & Outlet
HOW
1.Make 'Cylinder' on the left side with specificated numbers
2.Click 'Create-Pattern' function. Then set the direction, geometry(cylinder) and the numbers of the Offset&Copies.
3.Using 'Pattern' function one more with all the patterned cylinders
4.Make 'Outlet' with 'Create-Primitives-Cylinder' as well (No picture)
<Step 3>
Geometry Settings
1. 'Form a New Part' with all the Inlet Cylinders
2.Unite Inlet, Box and Outlet with 'Create-Boolean'
3. 'Form a New Part' with all the battery cells and cell casings(each)
<Step 4>
Mesh Settings
1. Generate Mesh with the size of 2mm (0.002m)
※ check your computer configuration and put the proper number
2.Set 'Named Selection'
Click all the inlet cylinder's face and outlet cylinders's face with 'Create Named Selection' function
Using 'Hide all Other Bodies' and set 'Named Selection' as well
※ Do not miss faces inside
If you have yellow sign then click 'Update'
The part 2(Setup&Result) will be coming soon...
