Can we assign a body as frozen to the imported CAD geometry in ANSYS Design modeler?

[Keyur Kanade]

yes, you can do that. 

go to file - import external file. then in details you can select 'add frozen' under 'operation'. 

if this helps you, please mark this post as 'is solution' to help others on forum.

my body is split into two...i want only one part to be add as frozen...Is it possible?Thank you the reply

[Keyur Kanade]

use tools - freeze. 

it will freeze everything. 

then use tools - unfreeze to unfreeze required bodies.

Ok that helped...but when we go for meshing contact regions are showing...how to establish connections between the two domains?

[Keyur Kanade]

you will do that in fluent. 

[ashiadarsh]

you mean defining Mesh Interfaces in ANSYS FLUENT?

[Keyur Kanade]

yes

[Randhir]

Sir, how we can define mesh interface between two solids and then between fluid and solid for the same geometry?

[Ram Gopisetti]

Hi Array,
for fluent only you can do the following
Any contacts that were detected in the meshing in connection group will be automatically imported into fluent unless you modified them ,you can also define manual contact between faces or entities , thus applies to any bodies irrespective of type (solid or fluid) and this contacts are shown in mesh interface node of fluent tree..
Therefore, you need to make sure you have defined contacts and if you are need heat to be transferred make sure you make contacts as coupled.
