Preparing the CFD Fluid model

The GT Coupling working folder contains the HeatTransfer_Coupling.gtm file, which is the GT-SUITE model. The 3D fluid model is setup in Simerics-MP+ for the centrifugal pump simulation and is saved in the tutorial working folder as centrifugal_pump.spro as shown in Figure 10.122.

To know the steps on how to setup a centrifugal pump simulation in Simerics-MP, check Centrifugal pump Tutorial.

Procedure to couple GT-SUITE file with Simerics-MP+

Launch Simerics-MP+ and open the file centrifugal_pump.spro. The model is shown in Figure 10.123.
Click Select Modules in the Model Panel. The Physical Model Selection dialog box opens.
Select GT Coupling under Available Modules list, click Add. GT Coupling gets added to the Simulation Modules list
Click Close to close the Physical Model Selection dialog box.
