Hello,

I am simulating the flow over an array of cylinders. I would like the top part to have a periodic BC. I have seen that I need to do a match control in Ansys meshing so that the mesh is conformal. Is this compulsory? Which axis of rotation and high and low geometries should I select?

When I import my model into Fluent, I can make the top edges to be interfaces, but from there I cannot make them periodic as no option is enabled. Hope you can help me with this one.

Thank you
