How do I model a "corrugate Pipe"?

Hi all,
I always appreciate your attentions. I would like to model a corrugate pipe. when I make a sectional surface and revolve it, it is not able to make a "solid Body". Therefore, I cannot make a domain interface with the other solid body. when I make a convential tube model, it is possible to make interface using "Encloser" tool. Here my question. when I make a surface body with "revolve" command, how do I change it a "Solid" body. Actually, the sectional shape of my pipe is as follows; ∧∧∧∧∧∧∧∧∧∧ ∧∧∧ ∨∨∨∨∨∨∨∨∨∨∨∨&o r; Thanks |

When you make a revolved feature, if it isn't completly enclosed, it will make a surface. If the section is clompletly closed, then it will make a solid volume.
First check to see if there isn't a small line somewhere that isn't fully connected. |

I really appreciate you, Dre.
Let me ask one more. As you know, it is a straight tube when I use revolve command. Would you give me an idea for bending or sweeping the straight tube? Thanks Dre. |

Sorry I can't help you there. I don't know how to do this in Design Modeler.
However, couldn't you just model a normal smooth pipe, then set an appropriate surface roughness in CFX? |
