Duct optimization using Ansys Fluent

Hello,
I am trying to simulate multiple ducts through a solid using Ansys Fluent 2021 R2. My goal is, to optimize the existing ducts, using the adjoint solver to minimize the pressure drop. In theory, I would like to give the Solver a very basic duct geometry and let the program morph it into its optimal shape. But I can't seem to find the optimal method of doing that, I tried using the gradient-based solver, but the results were not satisfying, and after around 40 iterations I kept getting an error message that the mesh was not found. I attached a series of screenshots showing the error messages I receive, maybe someone can help with the problem. This error does not occur when I morph the geometry using the manual method. My question is if the adjoint solver can be used to morph a basic geometry into its optimal shape and by which method I can achieve the biggest changes in the geometry. Additionally, I would like to know if it is necessary to remesh the geometry after a few adjoint iterations, to keep the desired mesh quality. I am thankful for every help. Thank you in advance. |
