Hi 

Currently i am facing an issue that when i am doing meshing check - an errors show that Un assigned Interface Zones as shown in below picture and archive attached.  Due to Long geometry i have crated two faces for Fluid and three faces for the soil, i have defined these edges as interface.

Can you please advise how i can solve this issue

You have defined a few lines as interfaces which are not required and that is causing the "Mesh Check failed" warning. Delete the following named selections and you should get rid of the error.

Thank you very much Rahul

I have removed these selection, But Fluent considered it as a wall and creat a shadow , do i need to change it  as interior ?? .

Also, When i have setup my model and run the solution  i am getting a floating point even my mesh is uniform and around 412 K . can you please advise ?

I think i mentioned this before in another post of yours. You should reduce the size of the soil face in your geometry. Why do you need that big a soil face? And can't you reduce the length of the pipe thats buried in the ground? Such a slender geometry would be a difficult step to begin a simulation particularly with the different interfaces in the system. I'd suggest you to reduce the size of the pipe first and work on a simplified geometry before you try this geometry.

Thank you Raul , i apprecaite your advise  

The Point is , i am trying to validate an article having  the same pipe dimension and soil. i know that my issue is from the mesh and i have reduced the soil face, Before i used to do meshing by using a Proximity option on advanced sizing and i got a great result and no floating point showed while running the simulation,  but the issue on this option i do not have any control on edge sizing " number of division ", so i used the adaptive option to have more  control on number of division on every edge but with this option i am getting floating point on fluent.

Can you please advise any suggestion to have a control on the edges and keep the pipe and soil dimension same and run the simulation without any issue

 

Again thx Rahul appreciate your time.

I'll definitely look into your model again and get back to you with what could be done .
