Hi everyone!

Is there any possibility how to mesh T-pipe only with cooper?

I want to mesh DN 700 pipe connected with DN 400 pipe in "T-shape"

Thanks!

This is not a T-Pipe, but you can get inspired from it

Thank, but I have already download every possible tutorial guides (include this one), but have not found anything. Although this example is similar, it is still too different.

Ok,
Then make a volume decomposition like this:

Be sure to start meshing the red volume

Wow, thank you very much, that looks perfect. I have to admit that I am still begginer at Gambit, I mesh straight pipes with cooper, and T-pipe with tetrahedral.

Do you have a "step by step" guide of this?

Thanks alot for your advice!

Wow, what a perfect job!

Even I know it will take me a century, I will try it !!

Cannot thank you enough

copy those lines in text editor and save it as text.
Then in Gambit you pick this file to run the journal:
File>Run Journal...

One more time thank you a lot ))

I work on this model of gas metering station with orifice flowmeters. I believe that you really help me ))

Does it work in FLUENT (ANSYS 14.5)?

[-mAx-]

do you mean automation?
It was possible on Fluent 6.3
Now I don't know

I dont know what does automation mean ? , thank you,

automatic tasks
(like a batch file)

I dont know what batch file mean thank you again

[-mAx-]

open case 1
run case 1
write case and data for run1
open case 2
run case 2
write case and data for run2
open case 3
run case 3
write case and data for run3
...
the computer does all the tasks automatically

Thank you Max!

Max, how did you create a volume 8, or face 40?

Because, if I run this journal in Gambit 2.2.30 it show me an error on this pic

I am almost done, but I do not know, how to split this last red volume ((

Thanks a lot!

[-mAx-]

ok in your case I think you don't need to do another split.
You only have to enforce gambit to choose cooper scheme, and select source faces for cooper.
Here choose the 3 surfaces as I mentionned in the picture
Be also aware you need to mesh this volume first, and all other after:
you will project mesh from blue surfaces, on red one.
If red surface is already meshed, Gambit cannot project mesh on blue surfaces, because it has do generate a cut in the mesh

Thank a lot max ))

I almost done it, but couldnt mesh the last volume... I will do my whole project in tetrahedra and convert to polyhedra. Numerical time will be longer, but just thinkin, that I have to dothis for all T-pipes makes me cry

almost done.jpg

Then Apply Tet/Hexcore, it fill fill the domain with a max of hexa in the core of your volume.
But you will have to delete all the splits in the T-junction, else you will enforce the presence of tetraeders on the split surfaces
