Use the Build Diagnostic Topology option to establish connectivity. Click ( Select point(s)) and then ( Select all appropriate objects) in the Select geometryĦ. Later step, when you use Build Topology, these original curves will be used asĪ. When Delete Permanently is disabled, the deleted curves become dormant. Ensure that Delete Permanently is disabled.
Click ( Select curve(s)) and then ( Select all appropriate objects) in the Select geometryī. Similarly, create new parts for the sphere ( SPHERE) and the cube ( CUBE) as shown in Figure 66: SphereĪ. The new part SYMM will be added to the display control tree.ģ. Select the four symmetry surfaces at the bottom of the geometry and click the middle-mouse Ensure that Toggle selection of surfaces is enabled ( ).Į. Disable Toggle selection of points ( ), Toggle selection of curves ( ), and Toggle selection of bodies ( ) (material region definition) to avoid the selection of entities other than surfaces.ĭ. Retain the selection of ( Create Part by Selection) and click ( Select entities).Ĭ. Enter SYMM for Part in the Create Part DEZ.ī. Create a new part for the symmetry surface.Ī. In the display control tree under Geometry, enable Surfaces.Ģ. Finally a material point will be created.ġ.
The geometry used in this tutorial will be separated into different parts to define different boundary regions, and then checked to establish full connectivity. ICEM CFD users prefer to enable Auto Pick Mode as it improves efficiency. The Settings Menu, click Selection, and disable Auto Pick Mode in the DEZ. If you want ANSYS ICEM CFD to behave exactly as this tutorial describes, you should go to
Start ANSYS ICEM CFD and open the geometry ( geometry.tin). V150/icemcfd/Samples/CFD_Tutorial_Files/SphereCube to the working directory.Ģ. Copy the input geometry file ( geometry.tin) from the ANSYS installation directory under Step 3: Fitting the Blocking to the Geometryġ.
