If you want to perform a thermal analysis of the cooling of a specific object using simulation then our meshless CFD software NOGRID points is an ideal solution. In this example, we demonstrate the cooling (or heating) of a Mandalorian helmet. Starting from a geometric model - either imported from your CAD system or created using our CAD preprocessor COMPASS - you can generate a computer model of a specific geometry in a very short time. Compared to mesh-based methods, this allows for much faster setup and early insight into the object's thermal characteristics.

NOGRID points shows how the heat is transferred either through heat conduction, heat radiation or by convection via fluid flow. All types of heat transfer mechanisms can also be coupled within the simulation. In the example shown here, the temperature evolution during a cooling process is visualized.

This model can give you a better understanding of the cooling or heating process of a specific body and helps to improve your design regarding efficiency and costs. If anything is missing for your particular needs, please let us know - we can easily implement additional requirements.

NOGRID points can perfctly be used for designing and problem solving for all kinds of thermal processes. It enables accurate prediction of thermal homogenization, temperature gradients, and heating or cooling rates. NOGRID points helps to understand the flow through the visualization of mass, momentum, and heat transfer of both single and multi-phase systems. It also provides integral quantities that can be used to assess the efficiency of heat fluxes.

Capabilities of NOGRID points CFD software

NOGRID points combines capabilities to handle free surface flow and moving parts in the domain and allows the simulation of any conceivable geometry and operating mode, such as

fully 3D computation solving the complete Navier-Stokes equations
easy and intuitive setup for thermal analysis cases
freely definable material properties by equations or curves
evaluation of chemical reactions and corresponding heat source terms
open or closed domains, including inflow and outflow areas (non-batch mode)
moving of parts and flexible thermal contact behaviour

Why choose Nogrid?

NOGRID provides professional CFD software for the simulation of fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, and chemical reactions. Its efficient modelling workflow helps engineers analyse flow behaviour, evaluate designs and make informed decisions without creating a conventional volume mesh.

Faster model preparation

With NOGRID, only the geometry boundary needs to be meshed. The finite points inside the fluid domain are generated automatically according to user-defined settings, both at the start of the simulation and during the calculation.

This approach reduces preprocessing effort and makes it easier to prepare complex geometries and cavities for simulation.

Efficient CFD workflow

The modelling process follows four straightforward steps:

Build the geometry. Mesh the boundary. Define the simulation. Start the calculation.

NOGRID is designed to provide short computation times, including for applications involving complex cavities. Engineers can use the resulting data to examine flow distribution and other relevant flow characteristics.

Better insight into fluid-flow processes

CFD solves the fundamental equations governing fluid flow. NOGRID software enables engineers to predict and analyse the behaviour of fluids and related physical processes before or alongside physical testing.

The simulation results can support:

evaluation and comparison of design alternatives
optimisation of construction and operating parameters
improved planning reliability
reduction of development time and testing effort
faster progression from design to market or operation
