[DesignModeler] How to make two different domains in a 2D sketch in ANSYS DesignModeler

And901 · November 26, 2015, 12:23

Hello guys,

I'm new on ANSYS and I'm trying to simulate the flow in a burner. I'm working on a 2D geometry and to compute the solution I need two different domains: the volute and the impeller.
I don't import the geometry from any CAD programs so I'm trying to build it in the Design Modeler.
However I have the following problem: the program seems to connect the boundary of the volute and the impeller when I build them.
To clarify my problem I posted 2 pics.
In picture number 1 there is the volute without the impeller.
In picture number 2 there are the volute and the blades of the impeller. However the volute and the impeller are merged in a singular domain, while I need 2 separated domains.

Can anyone help me, please?

Thanks in advance,

Andrea.

insert tool>freeze after you boolean first sketch
