We are working on updating this part of the tutorial. Please come back soon.
Step 2: Geometry
Since our problem involves fluid flow, we will select the FLUENT component on the left panel.
Left click (and hold) on Fluid Flow (FLUENT), and drag the icon into the empty space in the Project Schematic. Here's what you get: to start preparing the geometry. After you launch the web tutorials and FLUENT, you will have to drag the browser window to the width of the largest image (about 350 pixels). to make best use of screen real estate, move the windows around and resize them so that you approximate https://confluence.cornell.edu/download/attachments/111221570/ScreenOrientation.PNG

Since we selected Fluid Flow(FLUENT), each cell of the system corresponds to a step in the process of performing CFD analysis using FLUENT. Rename the project to Laminar Pipe.
We will work through each step from top down to obtain the solution to our problem.
In the Project Schematic of the Workbench window, right click on Geometry and select Properties. You will see the properties menu on the right of the Workbench window. Under Advance Geometry Options, change the Analysis Type to 2D.
In the Project Schematic, double left click on Geometry Unknown macro: {new window}
At this point, a new window, ANSYS Design Modeler will be opened. You will be asked to select desired length unit. Use the default meter unit and click OK.
