Advanced Examples: C1 - Application of EFD Zooming
Project for the First Stage of EFD Zooming
Opening the Model
Copy the C1 - EFD Zooming folder into your working directory and ensure that the files
are not read-only since FloEFD will save input data to these files.Open the
enclosure_assembly.asm assembly. In the Select Instance dialog box, select the
GLOBAL instance. Notice that the heat sink (HEATSINK_NO1_SC.PRT) has its cuts
suppressed, so it looks like a parallelepiped.
 To skip the project definition and run the FloEFD project defined in accordance with
the tutorial, you will need to open the enclosure_assembly.asm assembly located in the
C1 - EFD Zooming\Ready To Run folder and run the desired projects.
Creating a FloEFD Project
Using the Wizard create a new project as follows:
Project name
Zoom – Global – L4
Configuration name
GLOBAL
Unit system
USA
Analysis type
Internal; Exclude cavities without flow conditions
Physical features
No physical features are selected
Fluid
Air
Wall Conditions
Adiabatic wall, Zero roughness
Initial Conditions
Default conditions
Result and Geometry Resolution
Result resolution level set to 4, other options are
default
For this project we use the automatic initial mesh and the default computational domain.
 Notice that Level of initial mesh is set to 4 in
accordance with the Result resolution level
specified in the Wizard. The Result
Resolution defines two parameters in the
created project, namely, the Level of initial
mesh and the Results resolution level. The
Level of initial mesh is accessible from the
Initial Mesh dialog box and governs the
initial mesh only. The Results resolution level
is accessible from the Calculation Control
