Interface between Symmetric and Full domains

Silmaril · May 26, 2011, 06:02

Let's say I have a 90° sector (symmetric conditions) domain of a component and I wish to attach it to a piping that have, long way downstream, curves and cannot be modelled as a symmetric 90° sector.
Is there a way to attach these two models at just one of the four 90° sector of the piping and let the other 3 sectors to "mimic" in some way the one attached?
Something like exporting (during the run) the velocity field at the 90° sector interface and apply it as a inlet condition for the remaining sectors...

Thanks for your help

I think it can.

Refer tutorial on stator/rotor in cfx help. where two domains are not same angle symmetries...
