The goal of my recent simulations has been to establish a process for simulating components such that both solid and fluid regions are modeled in a periodic behavior within the same unit cells.  I have included a figure below displaying a cross-section of a problem similar to the one I’m working with.  In the cross-section, the orange and dark green are the solid parts, and the blue and light green are air, with the green unit cell signifying the one I am trying to simulate.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
I believe my main difficulty at the moment is that I cannot create more than 1 set of conformal zones in the meshing workflow and have not been able to find a process to mesh conformal zones in outline view in Fluent Meshing, but there may be more to it.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Previously, I have attempted to use non-conformal zones, but have run into odd errors, particularly when creating the periodic boundary condition itself.  Once the zones are set to periodic, it throws odd errors then the solver will automatically name the periodic BC “#f” then display the continued errors below and will behave in a very reduced functionality.  This reduced functionality as of now has meant no writing case\/data, an error when beginning to solve then proceeding as normal, no post-processing tools displaying in outline view, and so on.<\/div>\n

Does anyone by any chance know what I may be missing and how to fix it?<\/div>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-306495","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-fluent-ansys-1","topic-tag-boundary-conditions","topic-tag-fluent","topic-tag-interface","topic-tag-mesh"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["293368","199","852"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.206.193.41"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["1032"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["306495"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["199","852","293368"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["7"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["310163"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["310163"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-10-05 08:39:41"]},"test":"beveridkmy-erau-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/306495","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\/306495\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=306495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
