I have created a 2D mesh of a foil in a rectangular domain by means of a 2D planar block extruded one cell normal. I tried creating mesh subsets for inlets etc. but in CFX-Pre the only regions I can apply boundary conditions to are generic 2D regions or such. Is there a way in ICEM to specify regions for inlet, outlet walls etc.?

Thanks!

Hi,

Yes, you can do that in ICEM. You define them as parts, not mesh subsets.

ok great thanks will try. But do I define the geometry (lines) as the parts or the faces of the elements?

Thanks

Hi,

When you mesh the mesh on a face will inheret the part name of the underlying surface. Giving lines and/or points part names will not be seen in CFX-Pre as CFX does not use line or point elements.

Use Extrude Mesh tool in icem cfd, with 10 layers and 0.1 mm each layer, to make your 3D mesh!
