Hi,

my fluid simulation vectors and streamlines doesn't detect and goes right through the thin-solid model.

I have checked with many models, Ansys Discovery doesn't seem to have a fixed thickness requirement for a solid model. for example:

say we have an arc with a diameter of 10cm and a thickness of 2cm, the simulation works. but if we just change the arc in x and y axis, like we give it 100cm diameter and keep the thickness as 2cm, then the simulation won't work(streamlines goes through model).

so discovery has a (thickness X overall size of model) calculation.

I have checked different fidelity and iterations options and it didn't help.

Hello, 

Please refer Discovery : "Thin" geometric features and relative GPU adjustments article on how capture more detail if you have already turned up the fidelity.

You can also go through Fluids Simulation, Local fidelity|Ansys Course where you will learn about local refinement in Explore-Mode for fluid simulations. Also, Fluids Simulation, Discovery Cutter bodies|Ansys Course provides information on Cutter bodies which enable the generation of bulk fluid volumes and the designation of overlapping solid bodies or dirty CAD, as cutters, without the need for traditional Boolean operation. 

Let me know if these help. 

Thanks,

Devendra
