EPPIC tutorial - Basics
This EPPIC Tutorial introduces the EPPIC program, it's basic features and user interface.
EPPIC tutorials
EPPIC Tutorial 1 - Zones and Bodies
This EPPIC tutorial is an introduction to zones and bodies. Grids imported into EPPIC form zones. Bodies combine zones into closed geometrical regions.
EPPIC Tutorial 2 - Boundary Conditions
This EPPIC tutorial goes through the process of defining different boundary conditions. Proper definition of boundary conditions is critical to a successful simulation.
EPPIC Tutorial 3 - Envelopes and Phantoms
This EPPIC tutorial covers envelopes and phantoms. These are ways of activating or deactivating zones (i.e. including or excluding them from simulation calculations). Envelopes use existing mesh geometry to define kill or revive zones, while phantoms use preexisting geometrical shapes.
EPPIC Tutorial 4 - Force Overlaps
This EPPIC tutorial covers force overlaps. By default, EZAir summates the forces on all live wall cells. In the case of two or more overlapping walls, this may lead to the force in the overlapping area being added multiple times. A Force Overlap defines a region where walls from different grids overlap. The force overlap is needed to prevent double pressure integration
EPPIC tutorial 5 - Post-processing
This EPPIC tutorial covers the basics of post processing
EPPIC Tutorial 6 - Cell Classification and Orphan Points
This EPPIC tutorial covers cell classification and orphan points. Cells of a grid can be of several types, including Boundary condition cells (e.g. wall, O-Mesh, E-Mesh) and live cells. Cells that are not live should either be perscribed a boundary conditions or look for interpolation from an overlapping grid. If a non-live cell cannot find data through interpolation and is not assigned a boundary condition it becomes an orphan point and raises an error.
EPPIC Tutorial 7 - Creating Surfaces
The epic tutorial outlines the steps required to create surfaces. Surfaces are tools used to analyse grids and can be used in both analyse and edit modes.
EPPIC Tutorial 8 - Transformations
This eppic tutorial will cover the use of the transformation tool kit. The transformation toolkit allows to manipulate an item’s position, orientation and size.
