<p>Greetings.<\/p><p>I need to conduct a dynamic analysis of a spinning rotor with a customized, time-varying pressure load at multiple RPM settings.<br>To generate the time-varying pressure load, I want to run CFD of the rotating deformed rotor blade in Fluent using rotating meshes.<br><br>To that end, I first apply an RPM of interest as a load in a Static Structural component (in it, I have cyclic symmetry and contact constraints).<br>In Static Structural, I request a Total Deformation Result.<br>I use named selections to label the parts of the rotor blade that will be exposed to fluid flow.<br>Using these named selections, I can get the Total Deformation over those surfaces.<br>In turbomachinery, this can be referred to as a “cold-to-hot” correction.<br>Here’s where I’m stuck:<\/strong> I want to take those deformed surfaces to a meshing environment (preferably an external one called Pointwise), add the Fan Casing, Rotor Fairing, a Bypass Splitter, and a row of Outlet Guide Vanes to create the model for Fluent.<br>Caveat:<\/strong> The mesh I use in Static Structural is a second-order mesh, so the surface that I want to take to the mesher is composed of quadratic triangles and potentially, quadratic quadrilaterals.<\/p><p>I’ve looked online to no avail.<br>While searching, I’ve run into one-way and two-way decoupled FSI schemes, but nothing like applying a “cold-to-hot” blade correction to CFD.<\/p><p>Screenshots:<br><br>Cyclic Symmetry + Contact Constraints Model:<br><br>Deformation Results that I want to use for CFD mesh:<\/p><p><\/p><p>CFD mesh that I would like to make for Fluent but with deformed blades (blades below are undeformed):<\/p><p><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-393065","topic","type-topic","status-answered","hentry","topic-tag-1way-fsi-1","topic-tag-contact","topic-tag-cyclic-symmetric-static-structural-1","topic-tag-cyclic-symmetry","topic-tag-transient-structural"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
