Abstract

Surface roughness can affect the performance of components and systems in a wide variety of fields including tribology, fluid sealing, heat transfer, electronic packaging, dentistry, and medicine. However, the surface geometry of many components and systems is not always known and cannot always be measured. This paper presents methods for generating, using, and operating on nonuniform variates for the incorporation of probabilistic rough surfaces in ANSYS. These techniques, combined with the ability to model real surfaces in ANSYS, can be used to help researchers in material science, mechanical and electrical engineering, and beyond to better understand micro scale surface phenomena.
