Hello Foamers,

I am now working on optimizing a vehicle external aerodynamics. I would like to simulation how a duct connecting the bottom and rear of the vehicle will affect the performance.

I first do a preliminary study on the position of the duct inlet and outlet before modifying the model. I create two stl files for the inlet and outlet and I am going to use fan BC for simulating the pressure drop. However I am struggling of how can I apply the BC and patch in the sim.

I follow the TJuntcionFan tutorial to define the patch with topoSet. My question is after defining the patch where should I assign the fan BC on the patch and how should it be set?

Thank you very much
