About Data Center Meshing
 

Hello i am trying to simulate server rack in data center, and i made 3D model with solidworks 2013. After converting solidworks file into IGES format, imported IGES into Geometry at ANSYS Workbench 15.0.

After that, i made named selection to inlet, outlet and heat source area.

In here, i am having trouble with

1. Making heat source area

I need to make a source terms from cell zone condition in fluent, but i am wandering to make this zone for a week... Second attached .jpg file is my heat source area. From the rectangular shape of server, i cut out location of server and wish to set there as heat source.

2. Monitoring Mass flow rate

How and where can I insert or select a surface that can calculate mass flow rate through? If it is too arrogant, then please let me know where can I find related information...

(Additional)3. Specifying proper model

I have look on other papers about CFD in data center, and i just recognized some recommendation about model selection without explanation. Will it be proper to my case, too?

Thank you for your reading, and please help me if you can afford.
Have a good day!
