Could not select inlet/outlet boundary

syahirahshafek · January 3, 2022, 02:13

Hello I'm a student learning Ansys Workbench and I need to do CFD analysis of a nozzle. I was trying to select the inner and outlet boundaries from Inflation meshing and I wasnt able to. Can anyone help?

Hi, you can use named selections to help while creating / simplifiying the geometry.

As a best practice, always name inlets outlets walls or other parts where you are going to set a boundary condition or a mesh refinement

I tried to do that but I couldn't even select and rename the inlet and outlet. Instead, it selected the whole body (highlights whole body in green)

Hi syahirahshafek,

you just have to change the selection method from body to face. See attached image.
