Can't Select Mesh Interfaces Tab

morais · June 15, 2016, 05:14

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to complete FLUENT tutorial 12 but ran into a wall.

At Step 12.4.8, we are asked to set up the mesh interfaces between the fluid-inlet and fluid-rotor.

However, I can't seem to access the Mesh Interfaces tab.

Hope one of you can help me out. I am very new to this software.

Cheers,
Sean Morais

because you dont have interfaces in mesh.

I remember this tutorial , those interior white lines are supposed to be interfaces

there are two methods.

Interior (one boundary between two domains.

Second method: two different boundaries at same location, later will be defined at interface.
