hello ansys world

i want to do the aerodynamic simulation of car model in ansys fluent but i am not able to creat the mesh.

please find the STEP file with this post and let me know what steps should follow.

many thanks in advance

Hi,

Can you please insert images. As ANSYS employee, we can not download attachments.

Also please have a look at following video which can help you to mesh.

Regards,

Keyur

Hello,

Here are some video related to meshing a car using Workbench meshing.

Please see if you can use them to learn how to mesh. Also, as per Keyur's suggestions, please share some more details about your geometry and we can provide more specific instructions.

Thank you.

Best Regards,

Karthik

Hard to tell but it looks like you've got a volume and the car is a collection of surface bodies. This will mesh, but possibly not as you intend. Also, if you read the error message I think (hard to read) that you've got some poor surface cells. Have a look at the surfaces and do some clean up.

Depends on what you're trying to achieve: Cars tend to be closed (unless they're convertibles) and contacts means you didn't create multibody parts.

Looking through the errors, line two is the most useful: have you got very small faces on the car or sharp angles on the surfaces?

this geometry has 18 parts which are small and few are large as well and 40 contact regions

Hello,

If you want aerodynamic study as shown in video, please create a solid out of surfaces. Then create outer domain and use subtraction to get fluid domain.

Please try to start with simple shape as shown in the video. Get familiar with the procedure. Then use your geometry.

Regards,

Keyur

the mesher did not generate any nodes what does it mean ? and tried but i am not able to generate solid out of surfaces any tutorial which might help me ?

Have a look at the surfaces and see if they create a sealed volume: assuming they don't what do you need to do to close it? I doubt there is a specific tutorial, but have a look at the DesignModeler examples.

Hi,

For closing that car body, you may need to create some more faces so that it can have a closed region. After than please use body operations - stitch command in DM to create solid body.

Keyur

Sorry, its 'sew' and not stitch.

Operation would result in non-manifold bodies i am getting this error. i closed all the bodies but still i am not able to creat boolean

Did you get a solid in model tree?

Go to tools -- analysis tools -- fault detection. Check if geometry has any faults.

Use Create - Thin Surface and faces except the faces which are giving problem of self intersection. Use thickeness of zero.

Then recreate those faces to patch the hole. Then again use sew command to create solid.

Keyur

hi Keyur as u said i am using very simple geometry at this time but still i am not able to creat the domain please take a look again and there is no fault in the geometry
