Hello everyone,

I'm doing a research on the compressor part of a Wind Tunnel. I've prepared the 3D model of it along with the honeycomb structure, however it appeared too heavy for the mesh creator (inside Ansys). 3D model is made with Rhino4 and imported in Ansys.

As I tried over and over to create the mesh I've come to the idea to replace the honeycomb with a system of inlets that would supposedly create a flow similar to the one behind the honeycomb.

Another thing that crossed my mind was to separate the problem in two:
1st to run the calculations only for the honeycomb, and
2nd to transfer the results as an input to another research only for the compressor. (however I'm not very experienced with Fluent and Ansys Workbench and I don't really know how to do it)

Here are some links to help you understand my issue:
1. 3D model, compressor with honeycomb as a grid.

2. 3D model, compressor with honeycomb as a system of inlets.

Any help and ideas will be appreciated, thanks in advance

P.S. Oh I forgot to mention that this is 1/4 of the model, I thought of using the two symmetry planes.

Can anyone, please, give me some guidelines on how to proceed?
