Overview of Tutorials that start with an existing CAD file:

Basic Models

• Simple Model (work in progress)

  • Show workflow in a model without complications.
  • Introduce issues arising from Cubit/Trelis.
  • Show basic functionality of Cubit/Trelis such as imprinting/merging, assigning materials, and meshing.

• Simple Model with Geometric issues

  • Go through workflow with a model with geometric complications that are still easy to understand/visualize.
  • Show basic functionality of SpaceClaim by fixing geometric issues.
    • Overlaps
    • Unnecessary details to be removed
    • Small gaps
    • Curve coincident to surface

• Radial model (work in progress)

  • Go through workflow with some applicability, could be a basis to build further complex models
  • Exemplifies curvilinear CAD issues
  • Introduces reflecting boundaries

Auxiliary, Difficult Models (work in progress)

• MELCOR geometry (flows that split and recombine)
• Toroidal geometry with thin walls that may lose particles
• A radial slice where one encounters boundary conditions
