How to create fluid body as I first designed the solid part through solid works?
I am quite beginner in working with Ansys modeling. I intend to simulate air flow between a stator and a rotor through Ansys fluent. As you know, I have to define the right geometry. Hopefully, I am an expert in working with Solidworks, and I could draw the solid part of the geometry very quickly. But I don’t know how to define the fluid part!! Would someone please give me hint?

I guess, the fluid volume is inside your solid body and you have some inlets and outlets? In DesignModeler, once you imported your CAD-File, you can close these inlets and outlets by some simple additional bodys. Then, there is some build in function that can create a fluid body from your enclosed volume.

I already modeled the solid part and imported it to the Ansys workbench. I also used the “Boolean” commend to define the fluid part, but I am not sure if this is the right commend! Could you please take a look at another attached file and advise me. |
Doesn't the fluid domain look like you want it to?
|
I just subtracted the whole domain from solid part. It is worth mentioning that I haven't started to mesh this, and yo be honest i don't know how to do so!! But can you elucidate what you mentioned above?
|
But you already did, what I mentioned above. Did you talk about meshing in your first post?

Moreover, what types of mesh is more appropriate to yield more accurate results? thank u in advance for your kind concern. |
Up to now, it looks fine to me. I don't have moving parts, so I can't help you. Do you have ICEM for meshing? Your domain does not look too complicated to get a good blocking in ICEM.

This is great; actually I am working with Ansys-fluent 13 and I intend to do meshing via it... It seems they are the same, aren't they?!
|
No, Ansys Meshing and ICEM are two different programs.
