Hello, I am generally new to ANSYS and I am trying to simulate a quench tank. I need to subtract a fluid volume from the tank for a CFD analysis. I have the solid parts of the tank in the design modeler including the walls as well as a cylindrical piece of pipe moving through the center of the tank, which is being cooled. I do not know how to separate the pipe from the quench tank as its own body in the design modeler, and I do not know how to subtract the volume where the fluid coolant in the tank would be (all volume which is not a part of the tank's features). I could use some help and/or tips with this if there are any good suggestions. Thank You. The tank and its features including the pipe are shown within the screenshot.

create Boolean "Subtract" and keep preserve as "Yes"
this is subtract he body and keep the body if you need!
