Mesh Interfaces option is disabled in Fluent

Loki · August 5, 2018, 03:30

I am working on an assembly with more than 2 parts which have some connections with each other as you can check in the image.

But, whenever I'm opening the Fluent, the mesh interfaces option is not accessible.

I am using Ansys 14.0, Please suggest any solution as early as possible

Go to design modeler and check there how many parts of model you have.
I guess you have 1 part with all bodies inside, but for your case you should put each detail of assemble to separated part.

hope this will help you
best regards

Thanks AlexanderZ for the suggestion. I checked the DM, there are no. of different parts not a single part as you can check in the attachment. Please ignore the suppressed parts.

Moreover, is this problem due to Enclosure featured I used?

Hi,
Suggestions :
1. try to use space claim instead of design modeler
2. try to do volume extract method (you can see some videos on you tube)
3. try to select share option under properties in space claim
4. check overlap interfaces in mesh (right click connections and select check overlap connections)
please try these and let me know if it worked.

Thanks...

A lot of options get disabled when you use the workbench instead of standalone Fluent. Check in Fluent if you have the needed interfaces already, if not then you need to take care of it in the workbench.
