Setting up battery thermal runaway is complex

New dedicated thermal runaway workflow within the Batteries solution and a cell exothermal empirical heat release model

• Fast setup in minutes, for a full pack with hundreds or thousands of cells

• No complex field functions or countless reports

• Improved understanding of runaway propagation

• Provides critical insights prior to costly certification safety tests

• Helps in the design of mitigation measures

High computational cost of applications with multiple multiphase regimes combining mixtures and free surfaces 

Implicit Multi-Step enables sub-stepping for the volume fraction multiple times within the flow timestep

• Speed up multiphase simulations

• Decouples flow from need for small timestep for volume fraction 

• Allows larger flow timestep 

• Mirrors implementation for VOF

Predict particle motion and phase-change for applications that dry wet solids 

Model the evaporation of liquid components in Discrete Element Method (DEM) particles

• Accurately simulate drying processes in direct, convection-based dryers​ like drum dryers, spray dryers, fluidized bed dryers​ or indirect conduction-based dryers

• Enabling many applications in the chemical processing, mining, steel, food and battery manufacturing industry 

Many applications involve motion with close-proximity of solid bodies which requires dynamic mesh adjustments for maximum solution stability

Overset region mesh refinement is matched to the background region mesh

• Improved solution robustness 

• Fully automatic with no additional setup efforts by the user

• Enhancing a wide range of applications: Transmission gear boxes, store separation, valves etc.
