TRANSIENT PIPE COOLING FEA
TRANSIENT PIPE COOLING FEA
(OP)
Dear All,
I need to figure out how can I set up this FEA, I wanna simulate a plastic pipe cooling process in a extrusion line, so basically, I have a water cooling nozzles over the surface of the pipe, they're fixed in a frame, and the pipe goes in a constant velocity passing for all the water nozzles to get cooler, simulating the conveyor moving the pipe through it, or have the pipe fixed and move the nozzles, I have been played with DFLUX subroutine and SFILM with no success.
I need to find the exactly time to get cool down.
Can somebody guide me please
Regards

I really appreciate your help, I'm agree with your FEA statement.
But @ this time I wanna to simplify the model as far as I can, so that's my idea to keep steady the pipe and axisymetric, and try to move the jet cool nozzle (s) in the axial direction, to cool down pipe, what is not clear yet, is how can I move my SFILM condition when I move my jet nozzle over the surface of the pipe.
