Abstract: A system and method for extracting relevant computational data are disclosed. In one embodiment, one or more physical quantities and/or one or more functions of physical quantities of interest, associated with a larger volume, to be measured are identified. Further, any non-available identified functions of physical quantities are computed for each smaller volume of the larger volume using the available physical quantities in the computational data. Furthermore, regions in computational domain are identified along with ranges of identified physical quantities and functions of physical quantities of interest for carrying out the extraction from the computational data. Moreover, geometrical and connectivity information of smaller volumes associated with the identified regions/ranges that are obtained by filtering the computational data associated with the larger volume are obtained.

Abstract: A system and method for computing thermal boundary conditions from an unstructured computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation for a thermal simulation of a structural component are disclosed. The thermal boundary conditions include convective heat transfer coefficient (HTC) and reference temperature (Tref). In one embodiment, prism cells are formed to capture boundary layer substantially next to a wall of the structural component. Further, tetrahedral cells are formed to capture a diffused temperature layer substantially next to the formed last prism cell and in a direction normal to the wall. Furthermore, temperature of each of the prism cells is computed in the direction normal to the wall until a substantially first tetrahedral cell. In addition, the computed temperature of the prism cell that is substantially adjacent to the first tetrahedral cell is declared as the Tref. Also, the HTC is computed using the obtained Tref.

Abstract: A system and method for bi-directional coupling of commercially available finite analysis solvers is disclosed. The method involves configuring a solver specific service for each of the finite analysis solvers and further configuring a task scheduling service (TSS) to facilitate the transfer of solver dependent boundary conditions or file loads between the two finite analysis solvers. Transient coupling is performed between the two finite analysis solvers while mapping data back and forth between them.
