Info
titleCare to skip the geometry and meshing steps? README

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 > "Cylinder.wbpj". Lastly, click here to skip ahead to Step 4 of the tutorial.

3. Mesh

In this section the geometry will be meshed with 18,432 elements. The geometry will be given 192 circumferential divisions and 96 radial divisions. Mapped face meshing will be used and biasing will be used in order to significantly increase the number of elements located close to the cylinder.

...

In this section the various parts of the geometry will be named according to the image below. First create a named selection for the left half of the outer boundary and call it "farfield1". Next, create a named selection for the right half of the outer boundary and call it "farfield2". Lastly, create a named selection for both sides of the inner circle(cylinder) and call it "cylinderwall". When creating the third named selection, make sure that you included both halves of the circle. You will have to hold down control to select both edges.
