Hi mAx,
Thanks for your reply and sorry to disturb you. I tried to define the interface and I did it, but its not working. I couldn't understand the problem where it is.
the Error message is:
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }

Note: Slitting sliding interface zone 16 into a coupled wall with shadow zone 19.

If possible, I kindly request you to check my case which is available in the following link. (the case just 25 MB, Please check it)

Send me the dbs file from Gambit.
Delete your mesh for having small file.
I will check at your topology with BC

Hi mAx,
Thanks, I have attached the files. Please have a look

Alright,
In your case, you are trying to "connect" 2 fluid domains HotFluid and ColdFluid by the use of interfaces.
BUT it cannot work since between those 2 Fluids you have a third one FinZone.
In other words, HotFluid and ColdFluid are never in contact together, so you cannot assign interfaces, because those interfaces aren't touching together.
That's why Fluent gives your error
Blue and green Fluid Domains aren't connected (see picture)

Hi mAx,
Thanks for your reply, so how can I fix the issue.
Do I need to consider the fins as a face instead volume?
suggest me the correct approach.

Thanks,
Sivakumar

I don't think the interface is a good approach, since both fluids will be mixed at the interfaces.
Interfaces for Gambit is only a way to connect 2 Meshes which are not connected (typically rotor/stator)

I assume you only want to let heattransfer from one volume to the other.
Then you should work with heat conduction:

Then you should open a new thread in Fluent subforum, because this one is for "interface"

Hi mAx,
Thank you very much for your help.
I just followed the youtube tutorial, exactly similar to mine...

Anyhow, I will checkout the link given by you.

Thanks,
Sivakumar
