Hi everyone, i have a problem in fluent. I have to set up a simple fan simulation in ansys, i created i file in inventor wich is a part file made by 2 solid (enclosure and rotating domain with the void shaped like the fan). I passed then the file in spaceclaim, created the names selection and shared the topology. Next i went to fluent meshing with watertight procedures and then entered in fluent but the problem is that ansys don't recognize the interface between the enclosure and the rotating domain so i can't set up the mesh motion. The only way i found is using the slit-face options in TUI and create the interface manually.nI would understand way there is such a problem.nThank you very much to all!n

If you want to define sliding interface then you will need to use following steps in Fluent. nRead mesh in Fluent. Suppose you have 2 cell zones A and B. nDelete cell zone A using Domain - Zones - Delete. Save case file as B.casnSimilarly read mesh again and delete B. Save A.casnNow read A.cas and append B.cas using Domain - Zones - Append. nNow you will be able to define interfaces. nPlease go through help manual for more details nRegards,nKeyurnHow to access Ansys Online Help DocumentnHow to show full resolution imagenGuidelines on the Student CommunitynHow to use Google to search within Ansys Student Communityn

So there is not a faster way to set up this problem directly through fluent meshing or spaceclaim right?nThanks for your answer anyway! n

There are ways in Fluent Meshing but not with watertight workflow. n
