[ICEM] 3D Straight-tube with inlet/outlet

BlackTomatoes · December 12, 2013, 14:03

Hi all,

I am learning to mesh with ICEM from the basics, a 3D cylindrical straight-tube with a single inlet and single outlet. I managed to get a decent hexa-core mesh with prism layers along the wall. However, I found that parts of the surface mesh on the inlet and outlet has been replaced by the volume mesh and is no longer recognized as an inlet/outlet in Fluent. Could someone enlighten me on this. Is there something that I have missed out on? Alternatively, are there any tutorials related to pipe flow.

Thank you.

I don't know how that happened, any screenshots ?

Hi, thanks for the reply. I've attached some screenshots. I'm also reading your book and it is definitely a good platform to start learning ICEM. Thank you so much for the effort.
