Immersed objects

ATOTA · July 13, 2010, 20:30

HI,
I need help in modeling bodies in fluid volume. I used gambit before and all I had to do was subtract the object from the fluid domain. Now, I am using ANSYS workbench 12.1. I tried the enclosure command but I am not so sure how it works. How could I make the object hollow and the domain meshed ?

Thank you

hi,

use the boolean body operation (subtract) after freezing everything. before that you have to create your exterior and your body-to-subtract. you also can slice a body by other bodies, ending up in lot of bodies and then just simply delete everything you don´t need (body operation delete).

Hi,
I am a new user of Ansys and I need to know how can I join tow body in 3D? I knew how to do that in SOLIDWORKS but here it does not work in that way.
Can anyone please help me?

Regards,
Debashish

Debashish,

Do you want to join two bodies into a single body or make a multi-body part so they are still meshed as two bodies, but with conformal mesh where they meet?
