[Commercial meshers] Creating a 2D Mesh with Ansys Workbench for OpenFOAM v1912

fanta · April 2, 2020, 05:30

Hi,
i am stuck with a problem and thought i would like to ask here in the OpenFOAM Sub-Forum instead of asking at the Ansys Meshing Forum.

I want to create a 2D study in OpenFOAM. How do i mesh it with Ansys? There is no z-direction. As far as i understand for OpenFOAM 2D studies are 3D with one cell in z-direction (in my case its the z-direction). So I need a 3D body, since i have to name the faces for the boundary conditions. But how do i mesh with Ansys, I don't know how it can be done with Ansys Workbench.

I think ANSYS forum is a better place to find an answer to this Q.
