Hi guys

Fluent has a Contact Detection feature to mark cells in small gaps and block the flow. I was wondering if there is something similar in CFX.

Thanks in advance

just thought that perhaps it could be implemented locally with an if (cell volume < limit, viscosity=10000, fluid viscosity) ...

CFX has no built in contact detection. Highorder's idea might work. Also if you are using simple shapes it might be easy to analytically calculate the gaps.
