Hi All,

I'm trying to do a CFD analysis of multiple diesel generators located next to each other. I am trying to determine the minimum distance between each generator to prevent re-intake of exhaust.

I have managed to obtain a 3D model from the supplier in a .STEP format. This model is extremely complicated with multiple points (by my count over 100 components at the bare minimum).

Once I import the model into Autodesk Simulation CFD, the software begins to lag out. This job that i'm looking at will have at least 2 generators which adds more complexity to the model.

I was wondering how would i approach simplifying the 3d model allowing myself to actually solve the problem?

Cheers,
Orrin
