How Can I Activate CFD in Abaqus?

[kyhln]

Hi everyone! I downloaded abaqus crack with tosca and ısight. I chose every option. But when I run abaqus there is only sandard explicit and electromagnetic model option. How can I use CFD option or how can I insert CFD into Abaqus? There i tosca fluids but I dont know how can use it. Could you please help me about that?

Given how you have framed your question, to me, odds are you are new to Abaqus. Abaqus' main claim to fame is nonlinear solid mechanics; it is NOT a major CFD player. Star/CCM+, FLUENT, are two major finite volume commercial CFD codes whereas LS-DYNA, COMSOL, ADINA are major finite element commercial CFD codes. There are many other lesser known CFD packages as well (Altair has one, for instance). On the other hand, OpenFOAM is an open source finite volume CFD code. Simulia's X-Flow is a Lattice Boltzmann code that is worth looking into as well. I suppose if you are doing something fairly rather straightforward then Abaqus' CFD capabilities are probably more than sufficient but I am sure the development has either been shut down or absorbed into X-Flow or something like that.

One open source CFD code that I've heard good things about, though I haven't used, is OpenFOAM.

Abaqus 2016 was the last version to feature an incompressible CFD solver. You may install multiple versions of Abaqus on the same machine so you can try it out if you like.
