Hello,
I am trying to recreate the melting phenomenon in the video here: I generated my powder bed geometry using spaceclaim, created an enclosure, exported this geometry to ANSYS Fluent Mesh, then generated the mesh, converted the mesh to OpenFOAM via Fluent3DMeshToFoam, however, it appears I'm only getting a shell for my solid spheres. (See attached images) and my internal mesh appears to be an entire volume that includes my powder bed spheres. My question is: How can I get a solid mesh inside my spheres and not just the surface? I checked my mesh in the Fluent mesh before exporting and there are definitely mesh cells inside the individual spheres. I'm new to meshing so any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks! |
