ANALYSIS PROCESS

The process of analysis is done in steps and the various steps

done in this project till now are:
1. Planning A detailed work plan for the analysis was
developed. It includes software to use, 3-D model to make,
dimensions of manifold etc.
2. Geometry The 3D design model of intake manifold is the
geometry for the analysis process. It is imported in the
Ansys workbench from SolidWorks (CAD software used in
this project).
3. Meshing Mesh creation is the most important and time
consuming process in the CFD analysis. Meshes are created
such a way that to capture the air velocity stream coming in
through the inlet of intake manifold and also to capture the
air flow going out through outlet. Meshing is an important
step because in meshing the geometry is divided into no. of
elements and the computation is done on each and every
part and then compiled to get the exact result.
4. Initialization In this step the meshing and other variables
are checked and the boundary conditions are defined to the
input variables. Also the equation and order of these
equation are specified. No. of iteration, graphs, contours etc
are set that we need to know the results of the problem.
