1、F-1Non-Conformal MeshingF-2A non-conformal mesh is one where there is transition from many cells to one cell In Icepak, assemblies of objects can be meshed non-conformally - A “slack” or envelope can be defined around a particular assembly and the resulting region is meshed independent of the mesh o
2、utside This enables embedding a fine mesh within the assembly sub-region without leading to cell bleeding, while the model outside the assembly has a course meshMesh for AssemblyMesh in Main ModelNon-conformal InterfaceNon-Conformal meshing - AssemblyF-3The first thing to do is to edit the assembly,
3、 and turn on the option to mesh separately. Next, add a “slack” region around the assembly - By default the bounding box of the assembly is the min/max extents of the objects making up the component - Slack region allows the user to re -define the bounding box, to make it slightly larger than the ob
4、jects making up the component. Assembly defining slackF-4The assembly bounding box must have sufficient slack so that its sides do not touch any Icepak objectCabinet, walls and hollow block are the only objects that may touch the sides of a non-conformally meshed assemblyAll objects except conductin
5、g thin plates and hollow blocks can intersect an non-conformal assembly the portion within will be meshed non-conformallyAny object can lie completely within the non-conformal assembly even though it may not be a part of the assemblyRules for non-conformal meshing (1)F-5For example, in this model a
6、1U heat sink design is modelled as an assembly - By default the bounding box would be the the size of the base in the x-z dimensions, and extend to the top of the fan casing. - Where the fins touch the default bounding box, there would be a solid cell on the internal side of the interface, and a flu
7、id side on the outside of the interface - this is currently not allowed by the solver - Adequate slack must be specified, as in the figure below, so that the assembly bounding box does not touch the heat sink fins - After specifying the slack the assembly can cut through a solid or fluid object, as

Then it will be included in
9、the non-conformal interface of the larger assembly. - Assemblies do not touch So the bounding box of one assembly cannot share a surface with the bounding box of a second assembly - Assemblies do not intersectRules for non-conformal meshing (3)F-7In this example, either the TO220 can be meshed separ

11、r the meshing panel, turn on the option to mesh assemblies separately. Icepak will then mesh the model and embed a finer mesh on the assembly region. Both the Hexa-Unstructured and Hexa-Cartesian methods can be used to mesh assemblies separately.Conformal Mesh - 111,329 cellsNon-Conformal Mesh - 77,149 cellsMeshing
