Data-Conversion and Displaying for Numerical Simulation of EMCC with FEM-FVM-Joint Method

Abstract:

Abstract. For efficiently performing the numerical simulation of electromagnetic continues casting (EMCC) with finite element method (FEM) and finite volume method (FVM) combined scheme, a program integrates with data-format conversion and post-processing was proposed. The conversion of data format realized by linear interpolating, and the post processor developed on a Visual Fortran 6.6A platform using Fortran-95 language and the QuickWin module. Both 2-D and 3-D EM-FEM data calculated by a general-purpose FEM software, ANSYS, could be converted into FVM-data format using this program, and all FVM-data whether scalar quantities or vector ones could be displayed in the manners of cabinet drawing and normal axonometric drawing, which promises the correctness for data format conversion process of FEM/FVM-joint and the convenient analysis of transport phenomena during EMCC numerical simulation. The results of transport simulations and data format conversions indicate that the format-conversion method as well as the post processing is effective and convenient in numerical simulation with FEM/FVM-joint under various EM fields.
