Step 2: Geometry

Since our problem involves fluid flow, we will select the FLUENT component on the left panel.

Left click (and hold) on Fluid Flow (FLUENT), and drag the icon to the empty space in the Project Schematic. Here's what you get:

Since we selected Fluid Flow (FLUENT), each cell of the system corresponds to a step in the process of performing the FLUENT analysis. Rename the project to Forced Convection.

Now, we just need to work out each step from top down to get to the results for our solution.

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