I have one body which I have divided ino 5 parts using slicing operation. And I have not formed multi body part since I want non conformal mesh. I have created mesh interface and also contact sizing in the contact between two non conformally meshed part of fluid domain yet it seams by seeing result, every part is working independently and there is no connection between parts. How to solve this issue???

There's no telepathist here. Need more info. What do you mean by "created mesh interface and also contact sizing" abd "every part is working independently"? What solver do you use? Post some pics.

sorry. I am using ansys fluent. I am unable to post pic here. If possible give me your email id so that I can send it to you.

This is the outcome of the input

So if you need the non conformal mesh, you need to create interfaces.

yes thats why I created interfaces but then also flow is not transferred from one part to another...What can be the reason??

Select all the different parts in design modeler and make a single body from them. At the moment you have a number of bodies each of which is a different part. It should all be one body with different parts.
This has been addressed before multiple times in the forum.

The reason may be interface setup.

yes, I know what you are talking about. But IF I am forming multibody part , then mesh is forced to be conformal which result in unstructured mesh. Thats why I am keeping it multi part to let it be non-conformal aand by this way I am able to get structured mesh in every part. But the problem is now the connection between the parts.

May be you are right but let me explain you how I am setting the interface. Suppose I have a body. I sliced it in the middle. Then now I have 2 part and 2 bodies. Now I have one interface. I created named section for two faces forming that interface(by hiding one part so that I can name the face involved in the interface) . Now i used mesh interface option to create interface. Whats wrong in this???

Citation from Fluent Training Meterials:

If the nodes do not match up, this is a ‘Non Conformal’ mesh
– Fluent can interpolate across the interface, but this must be defined in the GUI.
– If not, Fluent will treat the interface as a wall, and no fluid can flow through.

So open interface options and set up.

Hello Folks,
My problem is kinda similar but not the same...I have 1 fluid domain with 2500 bodies and 1 solid domain which is in the fluid domain with 900 bodies. I want to make 1 part 2 bodies in order to have conformal mesh and wall shadows in Fluent. I set the shared topology of Solid domain and Fluid domain each separately to automatic and then make them in one new part.( so in design modeler i have 1 part two bodies) ...when I go to meshing and look for just solid domain, it does not show all bodies of solid domain and so many bodies are missing. any idea how to fix it? The photos of my case are available on this link.

Thanks a lot!

There're 2 parts and bunch of bodies on your images but not 1 part and 2 bodies. Show actual pics with outline tree from DM and AM.

Hello Guys!

I have a problem. In DM, I have 1 solid domain with 1 body and 1 Fluid domain with more than 2900 bodies. I set the shared topography to automatic for all bodies and make these two domains in 1 part. When I open the geometry in Meshing, The solid domain does not show properly(most of the solid parts are not shown). Any idea would be appreciated!
I attached the pics.
