NAME

case_generator_thermal_fin - a tool to generate configuration files for the case thermal fin with Feel++.

SYNOPSIS

python3 case_generator_thermal_fin [OPTIONS]

REQUIREMENT

To run the Python script, you need to install the python-liquid library.

DESCRIPTION

case_generator_thermal_fin is an application which generates

• a geometry associted to the case described below,

• the JSON model file associated,

• the config file to run the toolbox mor on this case, or the toolbox heat,

• the JSON CRB model file associated.

Options

case_generator_thermal_fin requires some options.

Table 1. Table of command-line case_generator_thermal_fin options

Name	Description	Default value
-h, --help	show help message and exit
--N N	number of fins	4
--L L	width of a fin	2.5
--d D	distance between two fins	0.5
--t T	thickness of a fin	0.25
--dim DIM	dimension of the case (2 or 3)	2
--cylinder CYLINDER	shape of fin and post (0=boxes, 1=box/cylinders, 2=cylinders)	0
--odir PATH	output directory	.

Description of the case and the parameters

Here are the parameters that stans for both 2D and 3D cases.

• \$N\$ is the number of fins in the geometry (here, \$N=4\$),

• \$L\$ is the width of a fin,

• \$t\$ is the height of it,

• \$d\$ is the distance between two fins

The following parameters are specific to the 3D case :

• cylinder : set the shape of the central post and of the fins :

value	Description
0	Post and fins are boxes
1	Post is a box and the fins are cylinders of radius t (so the parameter P is not used here)
2	Post and fins are cylinders of raduis t
