Hi everybody,

I'm trying to modelize a cube representing a building and the flow domain around it in spaceclaim.
I used the enclosure tool around the cube i made and deleted the solid cube in order to have a void in the enclosure. Now i'd like to slice the enclosure to make a finer mesh in the regions of interest (around the cube) as in the screenshot.
Does anyone know how i can do this and could help me ?
Thanks

Hi Blueblue,


You already sliced your geometrical enclosure in Spaceclaim, so you can simply use the edge sizing with biais or local refinement in Ansys Meshing to capture the cube BL.

Hi Gweher,

First thank you for your answer.
The picture I attached is not the geometry with the enclosure, I just made this using surfaces to show you what I would like my geometry with the enclosure to look like.
My problem now is that I don't know how to slice it the way it is in the picture attached and to make it ok for the importation in fluent after the mesh step.

Hi Blueblue,


Well, in Spaceclaim once you've imported your cube geometry and created your enclosure as you've mentioned, before deleting the solid cube I would create different planes (6) at each face of your cube (see Picture 1).





Once you've done that you can use the split function (under Intersect tab).



1) Select one face





2) Switch the split tool from edge to cutter face (saw symbol)
3) BEFORE selecting one cutting plane hit ctrl + a this is the trick to select all faces directly of your model as you can only pick one face at a time graphically.
4) Select the cutting plane.






Repeat this procedure for all the planes that you defined.


That's it, have fun

Hi Gweher,

Thank you very much for your time and such a complete answer !
I'm going to try this right now and will come back to you to inform you of the result.
