Development of a Coupling Approach for Multi-Physics Analyses of Fusion Reactors
Development of a coupling approach for multi-physics analyses of fusion reactors Zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Ingenieurwissenschaften (Dr.-Ing.) bei der Fakultat¨ fur¨ Maschinenbau des Karlsruher Instituts fur¨ Technologie (KIT) genehmigte DISSERTATION von Yuefeng Qiu Datum der mundlichen¨ Prufung:¨ 12. 05. 2016 Referent: Prof. Dr. Stieglitz Korreferent: Prof. Dr. Moslang¨ This document is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution – Share Alike 3.0 DE License (CC BY-SA 3.0 DE): http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/de/ Abstract Fusion reactors are complex systems which are built of many complex components and sub-systems with irregular geometries. Their design involves many interdependent multi- physics problems which require coupled neutronic, thermal hydraulic (TH) and structural mechanical (SM) analyses. In this work, an integrated system has been developed to achieve coupled multi-physics analyses of complex fusion reactor systems. An advanced Monte Carlo (MC) modeling approach has been first developed for converting complex models to MC models with hybrid constructive solid and unstructured mesh geometries. A Tessellation-Tetrahedralization approach has been proposed for generating accurate and efficient unstructured meshes for describing MC models. For coupled multi-physics analyses, a high-fidelity coupling approach has been developed for the physical conservative data mapping from MC meshes to TH and SM meshes. Interfaces have been implemented for the MC codes MCNP5/6, TRIPOLI-4 and Geant4, the CFD codes CFX and Fluent, and the FE analysis platform ANSYS Workbench. Furthermore, these approaches have been implemented and integrated into the SALOME simulation platform. Therefore, a coupling system has been developed, which covers the entire analysis cycle of CAD design, neutronic, TH and SM analyses. -
Onshape College Lesson 10: Design for Manufacturing: CNC Machining
Onshape College Lesson 10: Design for Manufacturing: CNC Machining ● Using the Hole Tool ● Using FeatureScript for spur gears ● Importing Solidworks Pack/Go files Concepts ● Direct editing an existing part (modify fillet, delete/move/replace face) ● An introduction to the Onshape App Store (through a look at a CAM app) Models ● Chopper - Drivetrain completed Mini Chopper Continued In this lesson, we are going to focus on the “guts” of our Chopper - the rotating motor drive assembly, the frame that it all mounts to, and all of the related gears, bushings, and shafts. In doing so, we will use the Hole Feature, and additional FeatureScript features to design the gear train, including a cool double gear. We will import new external files types, and then apply some Direct Modeling techniques to them. And finally, we will discuss design techniques for Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) manufacturing processes, and then take a look at the Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) apps in the App Store. Design Intent Check: We’re going to start by making a Drivetrain Frame, highlighted below. The Drivetrain Frame houses the gears and hooks onto the Main Body. In the steps that follow, notice how we reference the Main Body when creating the Drivetrain Frame. 1. Start by creating a new sketch (rename it “Drivetrain Layout”) on the inside surface of the Main Body (highlighted in orange). The sketch is shown here twice, in the “Bottom” orientation; with and without the Main Body. Note the (blue) references between the screw bosses on the Main Body, and the circles in the sketch. -

Our method harnesses data from CAD systems, which are parametric from construction and capture the engineer’s design intent, but require long regeneration times and output meshes with different combinatorics. We sample the parametric space in an adaptive grid and propose techniques to smoothly interpolate this data. We show how this can be used for shape optimization and to drive interactive exploration tools that allow designers to visualize the shape space while geometry and physical properties are updated in real time.

Abstract This report is the Phase I final report of the National Shipbuilding Research F'rogram (NSRP) project (Project Number 4-94-1) to evaluate world-class shipbuilders' existing CADICAMICIM system implementations. Five U.S. shipyards participated in this study along with personnel from University of Michigan, Proteus Engineering, and Cybo Robots. Project participants have backgrounds in design, computer-aided design (CAD), n~anufacturingprocesses, computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), production planning, and computer-integrated manufacturing/management (CIM). The results of this evaluation provided the basis for the CADICAMICIM Workshop presented in conjunction with the 1996 Ship Production Symposium, and will be used as background in Phase I1 of the project to develop requirements for future shipbuilding CADICAMICIM systems. -
Chapter 18 Solidworks
Chapter 18 SolidWorks As much as any company in the CAD industry, SolidWorks was inspired by the vision of a single individual, Jon Hirschtick. He received both a BS and an MS degree in mechanical engineering from MIT in 1983 and subsequently worked at the MIT CAD Laboratory under Dr. David Gossard. Hirschtick had a strong entrepreneurial streak in him from an early age including a period as a self-employed magician during high school. While working at the CAD Laboratory, he enrolled in an entrepreneurship class in 1987 where he teamed up with Axel Bichara to write a business plan for a new CAD software company they called Premise. Bichara was a graduate student from Germany who was also working at the CAD Laboratory at the time.1 The class business plan for Premise was submitted in mid-May, 1987 and in a little over a month the two founders had $1.5 million in venture funding from Harvard Management Company. It was no surprise that the company set up shop in Cambridge. Figure 18.1 Jon Hirschtick2 Premise’s initial software product, DesignView, was a two-dimension conceptual design tool that ran on IBM-compatible PCs and interfaced with Microsoft software packages such as Word and Excel. Users could sketch geometry, assign constraints and define dimensional relationships. If a dimension changed, the design would adapt to this new information. Since it could be interfaced to Excel, spreadsheets could be used to 1 Bygrave, William D. and D’Heilly, Dan – editors, The Portable MBA in Entrepreneurship Case Studies, Pg. -

Simulation Modelling for Computer Aided Design of Secondary Aerodynamic Wing Surfaces Aleksandr A
Advances in Systems Science and Application (2015) Vol.15 No.4 338-350 Simulation Modelling for Computer Aided Design of Secondary Aerodynamic Wing Surfaces Aleksandr A. Gorbunov, Aleksej D. Pripadchev, Irina S. Bykova and Valerij V. Elagin Federal State Educational Government-financed Institution of Higher Professional Education, Orenburg State University, Orenburg region, Russia Abstract The simulation modelling technique of secondary aerodynamic wing surface of the long-haul aircraft using a high-precision mathematical simulation in the aerody- namics and hydrodynamics computer programme has been formulated in the present article. The method proposed is based on the modern methods in the field of computer-aided design of aircraft using CATIA three-dimensional sim- ulation and simulation modelling in SALOME environment. The use of high- precision mathematical simulation in computer-aided design of secondary aero- dynamic wing surfaces allows us to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of the secondary aerodynamic surface of the model developed and to verify the previous results of the project definition. Keywords Secondary aerodynamic surfaces; High-precision computer mathemat- ical simulation; Simulation model; A long-haul aircraft; Synthesis; Design au- tomation; Project procedures; Three-dimensional modelling 1 Introduction Building the new long-haul aircraft (A/C) with improved performance character- istics and enhancing the currently used aircraft is effected in various ways. One of them is improving its aerodynamics depending largely on the A/C look. In our view, the most rational way to improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the A/C is to install the secondary aerodynamic surfaces (SAS) at the wingtip. The use of SAS reduces the induced drag of the aircraft, enhances the effective wing aspect-ratio and ascensional power at the wingtip, improves A/C longitu- dinal/transverse stability, reduces specific fuel consumption, cuts takeoff run and landing roll of the aircraft.
