Abstract:

This paper describes a unique multiphysics simulation tool allowing one to analyze and optimize reactive molding process used for the production of electrical insulation (in the form of epoxy resin embedding) in many power products. The presented methodology differs from the standard approach, since it excludes the requirement for high end-user’s knowledge and experience in the area of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and mechanical simulations. The role of the tool user is limited only to the definition of CAD geometry and process parameters via user-friendly Website. The remaining operations involved in numerical computations, including CAD geometry analysis and discretization, solving and post- processing, are executed automatically and the simulation results are published online. In this way the presented tool gives engineers an opportunity to verify the product/mold design and manufacturing process prior to the production launching or to improve the existing solutions without time-consuming and expensive experimental trials. In addition, the time needed to perform simulation (especially to prepare numerical mesh) is significantly shortened.
