Duct designer


Duct designer is a modelling and analysis software to characterize the heat transfer properties in cooling sleeves. The main principle of duct designer is the partitioning of the cooling sleeves into sections with constant geometric properties. The general procedure to perform an analysis with duct designer are the following three steps:
  1. Modelling of the sleeve based on the available Elements- and Profiles-Models
  2. Characterization of the boundary properties including Isolation, adiabatic interfaces and heat sources (the last point is not required while using duct designer in the context of EMod)
  3. Analysis of the sleeve's pressure loss, heat transfer properties and parameter sensitivity
The detailed steps for the modeling and configuration procedure are explained in the section User interface.
