Use Mesh CAD Additions Generate Fluid Part to export the CAD solid parts of the
model to Inventor Fusion where you can create additional parts to represent the fluid
volume. The parts can be external or internal to the model, to represent media such as air
surrounding a building or water passing through a valve, respectively.
Note Though typically used for fluid regions, you can also use derived parts to represent
solids. For example, fill the cavity of a mold to derive the cast part that the mold is used to
produce.
Important In some cases, the simulation model appears in Inventor Fusion as a surface
model rather than a solid model. In such a case, right-click on each surface part in the
Fusion browser and choose Validate to stitch the surfaces into a solid part.
Note For hemispheres, the flat surface of the hemisphere is flush with the
bottommost surface of the solid to simulate regions of fluid around an object sitting
on the ground. For boxes and cylinders, the fluid region is offset from all sides of
the solid object.
Tip For certain multiphysics analyses, you might only need the fluid part for one
scenario and the solid parts for another. An example of this is an fluid-structural
interaction analysis where the stress and displacement of the solid parts resulting
from fluid boundary forces are of interest. The fluid flow analysis will include only
the fluid part. The structural analysis will include only the original solid parts. Do
not delete the CAD solid parts in Fusion if any future analysis scenario will require
them. In this case, activate or deactivate the parts within Autodesk Simulation, as
appropriate.
13. When finished, click Home Simulation Autodesk Simulation to transfer your
model back to Simulation.
Note Inventor Fusion installs when you install Autodesk Simulation. If Fusion does not
install, use the Windows Control Panel to change your installation of Autodesk Simulation
and activate the option to install Inventor Fusion.
