Can we make explode using fluid ?

Hello,

I'm writing to you because i need help with Flexim.

I need to simulate the explosion using fluids.

Does anyone have such a simulation and could share it? I would be very grateful: D

Software Version:

FlexSim 19.1.0

3d shape explode explosion

Patryk,

Ben is right.

If you want to have some kind of explosion visualization you can use MTBF/MTTR and down trigger to spontaneously change the 3d shape for "explosion like".

Dawid can you make for me this symulation using , fluid tank, generator and pipe?
And it will "explode" when Fluid Tank is full?

I try but i don't know how to use MTBF/MTTR and dont know with one trigers must to use ;(

You could use OnFull trigger on Tank - Choose Visual => Change 3d shape

@Dawid Dabal Can you help me to make very simple simulation? Using 1 Generator, 2 fluid tanks , and pipes, Like on picture bellow?

And Middle tank change 3D shape when its full.
Pleas i try to make it but i dont know this program wery well, and dont know how MTTR/MTFB works. I will be eternally grateful

@Dawid Dabal the problem is id dont have Choose Visial . Thats all trigers OnFull in tank

@Dawid DabalI make symulation can you add in Tank1 ( Zbiornik1) explosion effect when this make full? explode-project.fsm

Patryk this is your school assigment. You need to do it yourself...

You can use the code logic of changing 3d shape from different object (for example processor=>OnEntry)

I dont know this type of language in this program :(

we use it for very basic tasks, not as complex as this one. Can you help me a little ? :D

how to even start

Hi @patryk N,

As a discrete event simulation platform, FlexSim is not the ideal tool to simulate an explosion and its effects on surrounding equipment, people, etc. You probably need a physics engine or something similar.

Where FlexSim could come in handy is modeling the processes before the explosion, or the cleanup/repair efforts after. FlexSim is all about modelling the processes in a system, so disaster response, cleanup, repair, rebuild, etc. are more toward FlexSim's strengths.

Dear Ben , i need this simulaton to shool. Teacher said: If you make symulation in Flexim using fluid and equipment in flexim with one explode spontaneously you will have 5 at end of semester.

And she said that is posible to make this in Flexim.

Its normal symulation, using fluid but in during which machines will self-destruct in the form of an explosion
