Note to Cornell students enrolled in MAE 4272: You can skip the geometry and mesh steps.(You will be getting into the meshing application later in the Verification and Validation step for refining the mesh.)Download the mesh by right clicking hereand saving the zip file to a convenient location. Unzip the downloaded file(you cannot read in the zip file directly). After unzipping, you should see a file called pipe_flow.wbpj and a folder called pipe_flow_files.Read the mesh into Workbench using File > Open. Browse to theDouble click on pipe_flow.wbpjfile and double-click on it. Thenand then skip to Step 4: Setup (Physics). |

For users of ANSYS 15.0, please check this link for procedures for turning on the Auto Constraint feature before creating sketches in DesignModeler. |
Since our problem involves fluid flow, we will select the FLUENT component on the left panel.

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 Advanced Geometry Options , change the Analysis Type to 2D.
In the Project Schematic , double right click on Geometry and select Create New DesignModeler Geometry to start preparing the geometry. To make best use of screen real estate, move the windows around and resize them so that you approximate

At this point, a new window, ANSYS Design Modeler will be openedopen in a new window. You will be asked to select the desired length unit. Use the default meter unit and click OK .
The geometry is a rectangle of length L = 6.045m and height R = 2.94 x 10^-2 m .

For users of ANSYS 15.0, please check this link for procedures for turning on the Auto Constraint feature before creating sketches in DesignModeler. |
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 .
