Hello,nI would like to simulate inside an air enclosure a water circuit (with inlet and outlet inside the enclosure) in order to determine it's passive cooling.nSo far I have tried to substract from the enclosure the water circuit (while keeping the tool body) as a result I will end with 2 components and 3 volumetric regions:n-Volumetric region referring to the water circuit inside the air enclosure as an internal volumetric regionn-Volumetric region referring to the enclosuren-Volumetric region referring to the water circuitnI am not fully sure on how to deal with that first volumetric region, and so far all the attempts I have tried have ended up in errornThanks in advance for any hintn

Which tool you are using? Is it SpaceClaim or Fluent Meshing? nYour problem looks like nPlease correct if I am wrong. nHere two regions are fluid and one if for solid. nRegards,nKeyurnHow to access Ansys Online Help DocumentnHow to show full resolution imagenGuidelines on the Student CommunitynHow to use Google to search within Ansys Student Communityn

I am using design modeler for the geometry and fluent meshing.nSimilar but not exactly, I am lacking the walls (as you referred as 3).nI substracted 2 from 1, and this would create an additional volumetric region inside 2 which I do not know how to treat it.n

Can you please upload an image? nIf it is inside region 2 then please check. It may be some part of the pipe which is not connected to other bodies. nRegards,nKeyurnHow to access Ansys Online Help DocumentnHow to show full resolution imagenGuidelines on the Student CommunitynHow to use Google to search within Ansys Student Communityn

.nPlease see how an extra internal volumetric region (wall_water) has been created in the enclosure, which I am not interested in simulating, what should I do with it?nThe error I get when solving is 'failed to allocate'nThanks for the helpn

If you are not interested in the volumetric region, make its type as dead. nnRegards,nKeyurnHow to access Ansys Online Help DocumentnHow to show full resolution imagenGuidelines on the Student CommunitynHow to use Google to search within Ansys Student Communityn

Thanks KKanade, I believe that helped. However, it seems my computer does not have enough memory to simulate two fluids in two ductsn
