I am having some issues creating some surfaces in Fluent that are intended to be internal surfaces that permit flow through them so I can monitor temperature, pressure, mass flow etc.<\/p>\n

I created these surfaces in Discovery and they are a circular pattern that has 6 total surfaces. The circular pattern therefore has 6 component parts inside it and each component part holds a surface. The 6 surfaces are called vane-1-in, vane-1-out, vane-2-in, vane-2-in, vane-2-out, vane-3-in, and vane-3-out. I used performed shared topology in Discovery and completed the geometry pre-check successfully with no errors. I then created a named selection for each surface so there are 6 named selections. <\/p>\n

I imported the geometry into Ansys fluent watertight mesh workflow and checked all my labels while creating local sizings. As you can see in the picture below, vane-1-in, vane-1-out, and vane-2-in all have an associated label and rolling over them in the workflow highlights the correct surface. Vane-2-out was skipped and the 2 surfaces for vane-3 are bundled into vane-3-in:vane-3-out. Also, my entire model is highlighted when I roll my mouse over this surface.<\/p>\n

When I look at the zone list, there is a zone for origin-vane-1-in, origin-vane-1-out, origin-vane-2-in, and the other 3 surfaces are bundled into origin-vane-2-out:vane-3-in:vane-3-out.<\/p>\n

Another weird thing is if I don’t include the vane 3 surfaces (just vane 1 and vane 2) everything works as intended meaning I have a separate label for the 4 surfaces.<\/p>\n

I really need help with this because my model is actually going to have 20 inlets and outlets (40 surfaces total).\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-358704","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-fluent-cfd-ansys-1","topic-tag-fluent","topic-tag-mesh","topic-tag-meshing","topic-tag-TechSupport-1","topic-tag-technical-support-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
