Go to Step 3: Mesh

Step 2: Geometry

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

Note: You do not have to worry about geometry for now, we can dimension them properly in the later step.

Dimensions and Constraints

Now we will specify the appropriate dimensions and constraints. Below is the summary of geometry of the pipe:

Radius: ** m
Length: ** m

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

insert geometry dimension

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