Characteristics of a Canonical Geometry

Canonical geometries should contain all aspects of the workflow so that through the creation of the geometries one encounters all methods and considerations necessary to create functional models.

Basic Models

  • Simple Model

    • Show workflow in a model without complications.
    • Introduce issues arising from Cubit/Trelis.
    • Show basic functionality of Cubit/Trelis such as imprinting/merging, assigning materials, and meshing.

  • Simple Model with Geometric issues

    • Go through workflow with a model with geometric complications that are still easy to understand/visualize.
    • Show basic functionality of SpaceClaim by fixing geometric issues.
      • Overlaps
      • Unnecessary details to be removed
      • Small gaps
      • Curve coincident to surface

  • Radial model

    • Go through workflow with some applicability, could be a basis to build further complex models
    • Exemplifies curvilinear CAD issues
    • Introduces reflecting boundaries

Auxiliary, Difficult Models (Further design considerations)

  • MELCOR geometry (flows that split and recombine)
  • Toroidal geometry with thin walls that may lose particles
  • A radial slice where one encounters boundary conditions
  • Implementation of reflecting boundaries
