[DesignModeler] Creating multiple solid/fluid volumes.

nvarma · May 14, 2015, 16:40

Okay, I have asked the same question a month back. Didn't help much. I am here again, this time with a sketch.

This attachment Untitled.jpg is a very simplified version of the geometry I want to build.

This is the cross section. The actual geometry would be a cylindrical shell with a fluid inside with two solid plates inside.

The question is : what is the simplest approach to building this.

Is there a simpler way than creating three sketches, extruding them with added frozen in between and subtracting the volumes?

Asking this because this process can be tedious and time consuming for the actual geometry. Is there a simpler way? If so please help.

Thanks.

Its quiet simple way as you described above I reckon, why do you think it will be tedious with actual geometry?
