It doesn&#8217;t have to be perfect, just looking to generally mesh between these 2 objects, with the pipe on the left being the exit, and the holes on the right being the inlet for air (the other openings don&#8217;t really mean too much to be honest). I think I have tried almost every option in SpaceClaim for merging\/ wrapping\/ volume-prep, but can&#8217;t seem to get anything to &#8216;stick&#8217;. I was curious if anyone had any thoughts on how <em>you<\/em> would go about achieving a volume of the airspace?&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#8217;d really appreciate any thoughts\/ guidance.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you!&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/25-10-2024-1729895201-hopper.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-391430","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["474964","240"],"_bbp_author_ip":["2600:1700:3f63:c900:b5b0:bbcd:1e29:57a1"],"_btv_view_count":["330"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["391430"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27789"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","474964"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["391562"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["391562"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-10-28 10:27:10"]},"test":"ianjamesmortonhotmail-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/391430","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\/391430\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
