If you subtract the pipe volume you're left with a void, so no flow can pass though the space. If you subtract+retain, and then use share topology you'll have two connected volumes. You then need to label (named selection) the wall as a wall, and the pipe inlet & outlet as interior. Do not use inlet/outlet or in/out as the two interior labels as those will automatically assign a boundary type in Fluent.Â
