Hi!
I am doing a model of a wind tunnel consisting of several different frozen bodies (since I want different types of mesh at different sections of the tunnel). The bodies lies exactly next to eachother but there are two surfaces between them, one for each body. I suspect I will run into problems in the meshing if the meshing at the boundaries between the bodies doesn't match so I would like to have a shared surface between two adjacent bodies. How do I make a surface shared? (And please tell me if I'm totally wrong about the mesh-matching) Thanks! |

Right, forgot that. I'm using ansys CFX and doing the geometry in ansys DM.

You have two choices...
You can have each zone meshed independently and let the solver sort it out... or you can have each zone mesh conformally (matching mesh). If you have separate parts, it will mesh each independently. If you want matching mesh, you must create a multibody part and drag and drop all the other parts into it. Simon

You can have different mesh types on a multibody (conformal) mesh. All you need to do is create a different meshing method for each of your bodies (RMB on Mesh > Insert > Method) and them select the mesh method you want. Cheers |
