Abstract
The heat transfer through different layers of materials, natural and forced convection, radiation, and external conditions are important in evaluating the comfort in a passenger car environment.
The solvers commonly utilised, do not take all these coupled criteria into account and they require a laborious meshing step (80% of CAE's activities) which is not compatible with the development cycle.
An anamorphic stretch of a pre-meshed cube to the targeted geometry allows a reduction of time by a factor of 10 or more.
This paper describes both the tool, its related methodology and offers a comparison with classical meshing for a large set of topologies. This work uses some experimental and theorical results from the CLIMHAB project1.
