Step 3: Mesh
In this section the geometry will be meshed using inflation feature.
Launch Mesher
In order to begin the meshing process, go to the Workbench Project Page, then (Double Click) Mesh.
Inflation Feature (Mesh Control).
Right-click on the Mesh, in the Outline view, choose Insert and then choose Inflation.
Mesh> Insert> Inflation
The Outline view should look something similar to the figure below.
The parameters for the Inflation are given in the Details Pane. With Geometry highlighted, select the cylinder using body selection tool, , and click Apply.
With Boundary highlighted, select the lateral surface using face selection tool, , and click Apply.
Finally, change Maximum Layers to 15.
Go to Step 4 - Setup (Physics)
Go to all FLUENT Learning Modules
