Hello,
I would like to simulate inside an air enclosure a water circuit (with inlet and outlet inside the enclosure) in order to determine it's passive cooling.
So far I have tried to substract from the enclosure the water circuit (while keeping the tool body) as a result I will end with 2 components and 3 volumetric regions:
-Volumetric region referring to the water circuit inside the air enclosure as an internal volumetric region
-Volumetric region referring to the enclosure
-Volumetric region referring to the water circuit
I am not fully sure on how to deal with that first volumetric region, and so far all the attempts I have tried have ended up in error
Thanks in advance for any hint

your problem is not clear
What do you mean under "deal with" ?
What did you try to do? What kind of error did you get?
Are you talking about mesh?

With deal with I mean how should I treat that internal volumetric region which I'm not interested (dead or just delete the mesh from it). I believe my question is more how to mesh and what to do with the 3 resulting volumetric regions in 2 objects

I did both (delete and select it as dead) but I'd end up with "failed to allocate" error, which I'm surprised considering it's a small geometry.
