Creating Surfaces in Fluid Body
 
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with ICEM.
I created a combustor geometry with a vaporiser tube (as surfaces) positioned inside. It looked fine after I computed an unstructured mesh but when I imported it into FLUENT, the vaporiser disappeared. FLUENT somehow assumed everything inside the combustor was fluid and deleted by vaporiser part.

I tried defining the tube as another body, creating the surface mesh on the tube surface and defining the tube surface as wall in ICEM but this didn't work.

I will really appreciate it if anyone can tell me what went wrong, please. Thank you!
Jenny

You could upload your geometry model, then figture out where the problem is.

Dear Smith,
Thank you for your reply. Attached, please find my prj and tin files of the geometry.
