where can i find airfoil flow using SpaceCaim geometry

[Rob]

Once you've created the shape you add a mesh and then move to the CFD solver (I recommend Fluent).

Hello Rob
First stage I would like to know how to make the attached geometry in spaceclaim geometry. I have data for profile of airfoil. I need to know
1-how to upload the airfoil into spaceclaim
2- how to subtract the rectangular shape and airfoil
3-how to make nice meshing around the airfoil
Thank you

Hello I've responded to your question here.
how to upload a txt file or excel file in spaceclaim geometry? ÔÇö Ansys Learning Forum
There are numerous videos on this topic. These should help you with the detailed steps.

Hello Karthik
I watched the clips in youtube as you mentioned. I can upload the airfoil and i have the geometry as you can see in attached figures, but when i go to make mesh i cannot see the airfoil. i made two surfaces, one for flow field and one for airfoil, and then i delete the airfoil surface.

Hello Karthik
I sort my problems with meshing and geometry.
Thank you

Hello Karthik
I can run the program and see the results now. I wonder if you can please let me know how i can find lift and drag forces

Thank you

Hello Please have a look at this Simulation Example from our AICs. There are several others on the course platform. Simply search for the keyword "airfoil" on our AIC course platform.

Greetings
I did 2d airfoil successfully. i wonder if you can help me to make flow over a 3d sphere. i would like to learn how to make a sphere in middle of flow field by using spaceclaim and then make mesh.
Thank you

Hello There is a sphere option in SpaceClaim (Design Tab -> Body). The rest of the workflow is very similar to what you did with the airfoil.
Please check out the AIC website. You can take courses related to SpaceClaim as well as Fluent and learn.

Greetings
I can make sphere and a cube around the sphere. How can i subtract and after subtraction , how i could see inside the cube and see the sphere when i am meshing? i need to mesh on top of sphere

Thank you

Hello You should be able to use the 'Combine/Cut' tool in Ansys SpaceClaim for the subtract operation. Also, my apologies for the delayed response on this one. Please let me know if you are looking for any additional help on this one.
