2 Introduction Shape optimisation technologies ( Automated Invention? ) 2010 ANSYS, Inc. All rights reserved. 2 ANSYS, Inc. Proprietary
3 Fast and Reliable Design Objective: Introduce two New and Elegant CFD shape optimisation methods. Do my best to describe how they work. Explain how these can reliably reduce your simulation time to find a shape optimised design ANSYS, Inc. All rights reserved. 3 ANSYS, Inc. Proprietary
4 Optimizsation The process of adjusting control variables to find the levels that achieve the best possible outcome. The challenge is to achieve optimisation efficiently CFD runs can be long and expensive, even IO can be significant. So we will consider systematic methods to find an optimum response with a few trials Consider the different choice of technology, approach and algorithm? 2010 ANSYS, Inc. All rights reserved. 4 ANSYS, Inc. Proprietary
5 Fast and Reliable Design The tools that will be presented are all available in the current release. The Mesh Morph Optimiser is our first full release of this technology type. The adjoint concept has been 10 years in the making and is a unique offering in commercial CFD. At this point the functionality is still Beta ANSYS, Inc. All rights reserved. 5 ANSYS, Inc.

8 Mesh Morphing Applies a geometric design change directly in the solver? Uses a Bernstein polynomial-based morphing scheme Freeform mesh deformation defined on a matrix of control points leads to a smooth deformation User prescribes the scale and direction of deformations to control points distributed evenly through the rectilinear region ANSYS, Inc.

15 Mesh Morphing Workflow Stand Alone use of Morphing 1. Setup the CFD Problem 2. Perform the run 3. Identify improvements in the geometry 4. Use Morpher to modify the mesh in FLUENT itself 5. Run the solution on the modified geometry using the previous result as an initial condition 6. For small variations in geometry the new solution can be achieved very quickly Note: With a little work the morph can be scripted or linked to Workbench parameter using scheme variables 2010 ANSYS, Inc.

54 Summary Two new approaches to consider The morpher and optimisation provide efficient tool to make and compare geometric adjustments. Consider using the adjoint to guide the morpher. The Adjoint alone is also very useful to identify key sensitivities. These are new technologies which will continue to be enhanced.
