Selecting Fluid-Solid Interfaces on Ansys Mechanical

kiodos · October 11, 2016, 04:25

Hi everybody, just arrived in the CDF Online community and glad to post here.

I am currently using Ansys Mechanical in order to carry on a thermal simulation coupled with CFX in Workbench.

My geometry is quite complicate and I need to select all the faces in between the solid and the fluid , manually impossible.

Do you know any automatic or assisted tool in Ansys Mechanical that could aid me in the faces selection of the interfaces ?

Thank you in advance !

This is quite some time ago, but did you solve your problem, and if, how?
I don't know your geometry, but maybe you use a named selection in the geometry.
You would still have to manually select it, but it might make it a bit easier.
