[ANSYS Meshing] Updating a mesh

pokhrel · June 14, 2016, 09:18

Hello all!!
I am a new user of ANSYS fluent. I am trying to mesh a 3-D water turbine(cross flow). I am using ANSYS version 17.1.
I want all the fluid domain meshed excluding solid turbine part .Initially, I meshed fluid domain by suppressing solid part. But as soon as I unsuppress solid part and update mesh, it automatically meshes all domain (solid and fluid domain).
Is there a way that excludes meshing in Solid Domain?

Thanks

Why would you unsupress the parts later ?? leave them like that
