Simulation accuracy depends significantly on the quality of pre-processing. A blog by PDSVISION highlights key practices that help engineers establish reliable simulation models and reduce setup-related issues. The article focuses on four areas:
- Strategic defeaturing: removing geometric details that do not affect the underlying physics to reduce unnecessary model complexity.
- Mesh independence studies: refining the mesh systematically until results stabilise, rather than assuming finer meshes are always preferable.
- Documenting assumptions and boundary conditions: recording modelling assumptions and inputs to support traceability and troubleshooting.
- Seeking expert guidance: consulting experienced specialists when addressing complex modelling, meshing, or simulation setup challenges.
