[ANSYS Meshing] geometry of louvers

VIJITH · January 23, 2018, 23:26

Hi

I am trying to do an analysis of airflow through louvers. Could u suggest me where to draw the geometry in ansys itself or in any other software.
Also i need to change the dimensions to mm. How could i change it in ansys or pro e

Hello,
You can draw the geometry using DesignModeler (DM) or SpaceClaim for instance. Both are normally available in ansys workbench.
you can define your units as mm when you draw your geometry, or when you mesh, or when you solve. could you be more specific on where exactly you want to change the dimensions ?
Hope this helps.
Good luck

Sir,

I am just trying to recreate a 2D figure from a journal. I am attaching the figures along with this. The problem is there are some problems coming from when i try to draw the 2D figure in my ansys. When i almost complete the geometry, one of the louver just jumps from its position and moves to another position.
Thats the problem Iam facinglouver designs that i neeed t draw.PNG
