I found simulations hard, but not anymore! Help support this channel! https://www.patreon.com/Needitmakeit We are still on a mission to look to any any all options to learn what makes the best part cooling duct of all, and using simulation software makes a lot of sense. There is only one problem... I didn't know how to use it, and the tutorials were not very well suited to the application, so after some research and a lot of failures, I finally came to a simple method that's easy to do for just about anyone with a CAD software. I took it one step further as well by showing the pretty big difference between simulating with and without a part in place and we also tested using Rheoscopic fluid like the last video to see how close the simulation was compared to the actual flow both with any without a part. This is so easy now that I do this for every duct I design and because of this method I have several more ideas for even more advanced approaches to duct design for 3D printing, so there is lots of value I think.
