Step 2: Geometry

In the Project Schematic of Workbench window, right click on Geometry and select Properties. You will see the properties menu on the left right of the Workbench window. Under Advance Geometry Options, change the Analysis Type to 2D.

In the Project Schematic, double left click on Geometry to start preparing the geometry.

...

Start by creating a sketch on the XYPlane. Under Tree Outline, select XYPlane, then click on Sketching right before Details View. This will bring up the Sketching Toolboxes. Click on the +Z axis on the bottom right corner of the Graphics window to have a normal look of the XY Plane.

Select Rectangle. Create a rough Rectangle from starting from the origin in the positive XY direction (Make sure that you see a letter P at the origin before you start dragging the rectangle. The letter P at the origin means the geometry is constrained at the origin.)

You should have something like this:

...

Since we have a heated section in the middle of the pipe, we need to split the geometry appropriately. Click Modify tab and select Split. Roughly select four points on the top and bottom of the rectangle where there will be heated section.

...

Radius: 0.0294 m
Length: 6.096 m
Heated Section: 1.83 m - 4.27 m

Select Under Sketching Toolboxes, select Dimensions tab, use the default dimensioning tools. Dimension the geometry as shown:

Under Details View on the lower left corner, input the value for dimension appropriately.
V1: 0.0294 m
H2: 1.83 m
H3: 4.27 m
H4: 6.096 m

Now we can constraint the lower rectangle with the top of the rectangle which has been properly dimensioned. Click Constraints tab, select Equal Length. Click the appropriate top and bottom edge and set them to be of equal length.

...

Now that we have the sketch done, we can create a surface for this sketch.

Concept > Surfaces From Sketches

This will create a new surface SurfaceSK1. Under Details View, select Sketch1 as Base Objects and click Apply. Finally click Generate to generate the surface. Image Added
