Die simulation for MINERVA Presented byVictor Rykalin Simulation team
Outline • Die simulations, basics • Simulations of the triangle die • Current status • Plans
Triangle die simulation(8064 elements, isothermal case) Velocity plot Front view of die lip and constant section pressure
Triangle die simulations(effect of the mesh size) 1.7 cm 1.65 cm
Current status 1. Solid (without hole ) triangle die was simulated 2. Evaluation of the results is under way 2. Different mesh size was used 3. Non-isothermal and isothermal case was simulated 4. Simulations continue to make a progress
Plans • Simulations of the equilateral triangle die with a hole by June 20 • We will evaluate the simulation results at that time. The shape (for the solid case) does not seem entirely intuitive. We will decide to use the simulation to make a blueprint or to inform on specification • If we are comfortable with simulation results the first specification to vendor by July 15
