Hello,

I am simulating pipe flow. I have made a solid cylinder in DM but now how can i define interior as a fluid?

or wat could be the possible way?

Regards,
Saima

In DM, use the body selection tool (Green Cube in the top row of icons) and select the body in the screen or tree. At the bottom of the details panel (bottom left) there is a pull down to change it from Solid (default) to Fluid...

But this doesn't really matter for most cases...

The important thing is to put your Body into named selections which will appear as cell zones you can select in your solver.

This movie should explain it better.
