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. |
2. Geometry
Strategy for Geometry Creation
In order to create the desired geometry we will first create a surface body for the cylinder. Next, we will create a surface body for the outer boundary as a frozen, so that it doesn't merge with the first surface body. Then, we will use a boolean operation to subtract the small surface body from the large surface body. At this point, we will have the surface body of the outer boundary with a hole in the middle where the cylinder is. Lastly, we will project a vertical line on to the geometry, so that radial edge sizing can be implemented in the meshing process.
