I am unable to mesh the space between the spheres. I was wondering if I should have a domain&nbsp; between the spheres? I mean I should create a cube or cylinder around the packed bed of spheres in order to mesh it?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Also how can I specify zones? I want to specify spheres as solid zones (that are energy sources ) and the space between spheres as fluid zone in which a gas flows.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Many thanks in advance.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/attachments\/5b4c5c1f-3941-4b19-981b-a913009c993a\/8d97ad22-3f6c-4ab9-b231-a91b00e574b1_screenshot-(89).jpg?width=690&amp;upscale=false\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-29685","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["1854"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0","0","0","0","0"],"_btv_view_count":["1386"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["29685"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27790"],"_bbp_engagement":["199","240","157590"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["29"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["61577"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["61577"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2018-08-06 06:58:03"]},"test":"hamda"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/29685","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/29685\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
