[ICEM] how to set solid and fluid region

ztdep · January 14, 2016, 05:14

Dear friends:
I meshing a " serpentine channel in a box " problem, it is a conjugate heat transfer problem.
I have split the block as shown in the attachment.
But how to define the solid region and the fluid region.
I have defined the material point , but fluent merge it all to a single region.
Regards

If you have defined the material points in the solid and fluid regions you should also create 2 distinct parts with the respective block for both regions (fluid_blk and solid_blk). Then you can specify which type of volume is assigned to your fluid and solid region under the output mesh tab > boundary conditions > Volumes and you'll see the fluid and solid volumes.

When you import it in fluent you'll have both regions:

thanks , your fluent gui is very similar to cfx. which version are you using?

I'm using version 16.0 of fluent, I also checked on an older version (15.0) and it's the same procedure.
