What to expect from this course
You will understand the full workflow of battery pack thermal simulation, from CAD preparation to CFD analysis and result interpretation. You will learn SpaceClaim tools for editing, simplifying, and preparing geometry for simulation.
You will learn how to use ANSYS Workbench for preprocessing, including material assignment and basic project setup. This gives you a solid foundation for CFD tasks.
You will set up both liquid cooling and air cooling simulations inside Fluent. You will understand boundary conditions, model settings, solver controls, and how to run thermal simulations specifically for battery packs.
You will analyze and compare the performance of air-cooled and liquid-cooled battery systems. This helps you understand how cooling strategies affect efficiency, temperature uniformity, and safety.
You will conduct meshing and mesh sensitivity studies, learn how to fix common mesh errors, and understand how mesh quality affects simulation accuracy.
You will visualize results using contours, vectors, pathlines, and animations. You will learn how to generate professional CFD reports and present findings clearly.
Finally, you will complete an efficiency study, validate your results, and work with provided CAD models and practice sets to strengthen your skills.
