Info
titleCare to skip the geometry and meshing processes? README

If you would prefer to skip the geometry and mesh processes, then you can download the files here. Download the "zip" file, then "unzip" the file. Then, extract the "pipe_laminar" folder and the "pipe_laminar.wbpj" file to the desktop. Lastly, double click the "pipe_laminar.wbpj" file (located on the desktop) to launch ANSYS Workbench with the desired geometry and mesh files. Then, click here to skip ahead to Step 4 of the tutorial.

Management of Screen Real Estate

This tutorial is specially configured, so the user can have both the tutorial and ANSYS open at the same time as shown below. It will be beneficial to have both ANSYS and your internet browser displayed on your monitor. Your internet browser should consume approximately one third of the screen width while ANSYS should take the other two thirds as shown below.

Dimensions and Constraints

At this point the rectangle will be properly dimensioned.

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

Surface Body Creation

This will create a new surface SurfaceSK1. Under Details View, select Sketch1 as Base Objects and then under Surface body select the thickness to 0.1m and click Apply. Finally click Generate to generate the surface.

You can close the Design Modeler and go back to Workbench (Don't worry, it will auto save).
