Abstract

With the aim to shorten the lead times for the aerodynamics simulations with CFD programs of Ansys Fluent significantly, the Volvo Car Corporation has analyzed, optimized and partially automated all process steps and tools. One of the changes was the use of the meshing program Harpoon from CEI as an alternative to the programs ICEM-CFD and TGrid, uses so far. To show that these changes were not made at the expense of quality, a comparison was made between simulations for a Volvo XC 90 on the base of an ICEM-CFD/TGrid mesh and a Harpoon mesh.
