I have tried to simulate a heat sink made with metal foam on fluent. The image is the RVE i will use to simplify the further calculations. ANSYS is able to generate a mesh succesfully, the problem is the quality of it, in consecuence, the further calculations have unsuccesful. The first image shows the foam alone, the other shows the foam and the fluid domain. My question is, is there a way to improve the mesh quality in such a complex geometry? or should i just try to figure it out messing around with the fluent module settings?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Greetings from Chile!<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/attachments\/8b359b93-bb13-4fc7-9841-ab520137f681\/9afc0fbb-a067-4a36-a8a9-ab52013df2df_imagen-duda-p&aacute;gina-ansys-mesh.jpg?width=690&amp;upscale=false\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/attachments\/8b359b93-bb13-4fc7-9841-ab520137f681\/c28048ce-eb51-4fc0-9326-ab52013e144c_imagen-duda-p&aacute;gina-ansys-mesh-2.jpg?width=690&amp;upscale=false\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-40540","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["12720"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["119"],"_bbp_subscription":["247015"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["40540"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27790"],"_bbp_engagement":["199","172736"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["4"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["105023"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["105023"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2020-02-11 11:33:46"]},"test":"nikopar10"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/40540","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\/40540\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
