I would like to analyze a shell-and-tube heat exchanger in ANSYS Workbench. How to draw the same in ANSYS without importing from AutoCAD / ProE. Is there any video / pdf tutorials available for making such complex geometries in ANSYS?
I can send you the procedure, if you are still in need.
Thank you!
Its depends on the complexity of your geometry and the kind of data you're looking at. I've worked on a shell-and-tube heat exchanger and I created my geometry using Ansys DesignModeler (both 2D & 3D). You can find tutorials for the DM through Ansys Customer Portal. If you want a quick view of the capabilities of the DM, refer:
http://www.ansys.com/Products/Workflow+Technology/ANSYS+Workbench+Platform/ANSYS+DesignModeler/Video+Series
In design modeler using Body operation (boolean- add, subtract) it can be done..
First model the tube without any cavity.
Later required cavity (volume) can be subtracted, in order to get shell and tube type.
Name the inner wall and outer wall seperately to assign suitable BCs
Mesh it and Proceed with analysis..
Dear Hakim
I have done a lot on modelling shell and tube heat exchanger. It will be time effective to if you use some other drawing tool. You can go through my publication if you think. Thanks.
@ Getachew Tibba - Please send me, It will be really useful to me - Thanks
Hi, if you may send me the procedure as well. I am working on same project.
Hello Sir,
Kindly send me the tutorial for making the geometry of the heat exchanger specially for creating an interface between the two fluid regions.
@ Getachew Tibba - could you please send me the procedure? I'm in need of such instructions, to do my final project - Thanks
