Geometry Requirements
The geometry must comprise 3D solid
bodies
Surface bodies can be included to
represent thin walls, provided that they
are contained in the same part as the
surrounding solid body (possible in
DesignModeler)
Otherwise additional steps must be
taken in the CAD tool to convert surface
bodies to 3D solids
Release 14.5
Geometry Requirements
For CFD analyses, the geometry must represent the fluid region(s)
It might be necessary to extract the fluid volume(s) from the original CAD
If heat transfer through the solid components is important, then those
bodies are retained and meshed too

Mesh Generation
How to Generate a Mesh
menu
Generate Mesh
Generates entire volume mesh on all
bodies
Right click on individual bodies to
generate mesh on selected body
Preview
Generates surface or inflation mesh only
Allows surface or inflation mesh quality
to be checked before volume meshing
Not available when using Patch
Independent Tetrahedron, MultiZone.

Parameterization Example
In this example the parameterised edge sizing is expressed as a function of the
length parameter (from CAD package). Expressions created in Workbench.
Length = 1m Divisions = 10

Named Selections
Used to assign a name to one or more
selected entities
Easy to reselect groups that will be
referenced often
Automatically transferred to CFX-Pre
Named Selections can be applied to the
entities of the same size, type or
location, by using selection options
A worksheet enables selection criteria
to be modified
