Hello,<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I am currently modelling a geothermal earth air heat exchanger entering a room (a box). There is then a vent on the other side of the room that is attached to a solar chimney which will accelerate the air out the house. <\/span>

I have modelled so far in design modeller the house attached to geothermal pipes. I was looking to test a simulation at this stage but have come across the enclosure error. I tried using the enclosure tool but this failed to work.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


As I am modelling the heat transfer to the air through the pipes and then the mixing in the room I need to create an enclosure as a fluid domain. I was hoping to then do a boolean subtraction to leave me with the domain of air to be meshed. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I tried manually creating a frozen fluid body around the model and tried a boolean subtraction but got the “Operation would result in non manifold bodies” error.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


Any advise on how to proceed would be appreciated!<\/span><\/p>\n
