Hello,

Can anyone help out as im new to ANSYS. I have a 3D pipe geometry,is there any way to add a 90 degree bend pipe.

[Rob]

Yes, open the model in SpaceClaim and create the extra bits. If you look in help there are some tutorials (plus look on YouTube) it's fairly easy to pick up the basics.

Thanks for the help rwoolhou. I have attached the screenshot of the geometry. just want to add a elbow to one of the pipe end.

That's DesignModeler (the older CAD type tool), there will be tutorials for that too, focus on revolve/sweep functions.  Should give some pointers  

   In the more recent versions you can do this on the end face of the pipe too.

That was of great help rwoolhou..!!! One more question how to fetch velocity/pressure value of liquid flow in this pipe* using Ansys? I tried but stuck in one point.Ones done with the setup in ANSYS workbench, Solution-->outline view-->Result-->XY ploy-->New surface-->Point-->Select point with mouse. Window popups saying click on the location in graphic window with the mouse-probe mouse button.  can u please help. If u knew some other methods please share. Thanks in advance.

 

* after and before orifice point. Please find the attachment

Most of the post-processing approaches are covered in the tutorials. If you click on Help & navigate to the solver there are several available. In Fluent I'd typically I'd create planes/iso-surfaces where ever I wanted data and plot contours.
