Abstract
In this paper, the mixer parametric modeling system software was developed by using VB which was taken as the foreground development program, and the paper combined with ANSYS software to create the finite element model of mixer blade and cylinder for the following numerical simulation of the flow field and parameter optimization of mixer. The software user interface was developed by VB and the pre-process model was created by invoking APDL of ANSYS in background. Therefore, the operation of modeling, meshing, component-building of mixer blade and cylinder were completed by using APDL and the graphic and text were outputted and displayed on the mixer parametric modeling system user interface which was developed by VB. Practice proved that it is convenient to modify the mixer solid model created by the parametric design language of ANSYS due to the similar structure.
Highlights
Mixing operation, using the role of mixer, enables the fluid material to flow at a certain flow pattern in the mixing container in order to achieve the mixed or dispersed purpose[1].There are a lot of types of mixers with structure size varied, and the current primary mixer design method is the traditional experience design
Based upon APDL command stream file of ANSYS and the structure of mixer characteristics, this paper developed a program of mixer parametric modeling system, preparing for the future numerical simulation of flow field and the parameter optimization of mixer
The parametric design language APDL of ANSYS is briefly discussed, and modeling, meshing and component-building of mixer blade and cylinder are realized by using APDL language
Summary
Mixing operation, using the role of mixer, enables the fluid material to flow at a certain flow pattern in the mixing container in order to achieve the mixed or dispersed purpose[1].There are a lot of types of mixers with structure size varied, and the current primary mixer design method is the traditional experience design. The traditional experience design can be applied to only a few common mixer types, the process of computation is complex, and the error is great. In the traditional experience design process, the work intensity of designers is large, the design efficiency is not high, and the design cycle is long and so on. Based upon APDL command stream file of ANSYS and the structure of mixer characteristics, this paper developed a program of mixer parametric modeling system, preparing for the future numerical simulation of flow field and the parameter optimization of mixer
