Step 2: Geometry

| ||
If you would prefer to skip the geometry and mesh steps, then you can download the necessary files here. Download the "zip" file, then extract the files to your working directory. In order to load the necessary files, go to the Workbench Project Page, then (Click) File > Open > "pipe_laminar.wbpj". Lastly, click here to skip ahead to Step 4 of the tutorial. |
Saving
It would be of best interest, to save the project at this point. Click on the "Save As.." button, , which is located on the top of the Workbench Project Page. Save the project as "LaminarPipeFlow" in your working directory. When you save in ANSYS a file and a folder will be created. For instance if you save as "LaminarPipeFlow", a "LaminarPipeFlow" file and a folder called "LaminarPipeFlow_files" will appear. In order to reopen the ANSYS files in the future you will need both the ".wbpj" file and the folder. If you do not have BOTH, you will not be able to access your project.
Fluid Flow(FLUENT) Project Selection
On the left hand side of the workbench window, you will see a toolbox full of various analysis systems. To the right, you see an empty work space. This is the place where you will organize your project. At the bottom of the window, you see messages from ANSYS.
...
Since we selected Fluid Flow(FLUENT), each cell of the system corresponds to a step in the process of performing CFD analysis using FLUENT. Rename the project to Laminar Pipe.
We will work through each step from top down to obtain the solution to our problem.

Dimensions
At this point the rectangle will be properly dimensioned.

Surface Body Creation
...
This will create a new surface SurfaceSK1. Under Details View, select Sketch1 as Base Objects and then under Surface body select the thickness to 0.1m and click Apply. Finally click Generate to generate the surface.
At this point, you can close the Design Modeler and go back to Workbench Project Page. Save your work thus far in the Workbench Project Page.
