Hello,

I am currently performing a series of ventilation studies using cfx that require a meshed person (human body) within the space to be analyzed. Unfortunately when i try to integrate the body within the space in my cad program (rhino), the once perfect nurbs body now has a series of holes and cannot be properly meshed in ansys. Without trimming him however the are no meshing errors.

So now instead of basically welding his feet to the floor (to make a single interior volume), I would like to have him float in space (just above) but still act as an object within the fluid.

Can I have him act as a floating boundary/wall? How do I go about specifying his geometry in this way. I can't seem to figure this out although it is probably fairly basic. Atm he is just considred another fluid region.

Thanks for any help you can give,
Ben.
