The two end sections (orange and green) are the electrodes (potential difference will be applied axially through the reactor body) &#8211; I med the bodies with Extrude, but the electrodes are overlapping with the reactor inlet and outlet. That is giving me problem with setting up conditions in Fluent, and I was hoping to cut the overlapping portion so that the electrodes are just &#8220;wrapped&#8221; aroudn the cylindrical surface area of the reactor, but not inside it. I hope that makes sense. I tried merging all three bodies with &#8220;Boolean&#8221; and then using extrude to cut another surface, but I have the same problem and I would love any suggestions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/24-04-2024-1713971378-mceclip0.png\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-363994","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hello everyone, here is my model below - a quarter of an electrochemical reactor to reduce mesh complexity.
