Problem Specification |
In order to create the rectangle, we will first create the vertices at the four corners. We'll then join adjacent vertices by straight lines to form the "edges" of the rectangle. Lastly, we'll create a "face" corresponding to the area enclosed by the edges. In Step 2, we'll mesh the face i.e. the rectangle. Note that in 3D problems, you'll have to form a "volume" from faces.
Create a folder called "flat Plate Boundary Layer" in a convenient location. We'll use this as the working folder in which files created during the session will be stored.
We'll run FLUENT within the ANSYS Workbench interface. Start ANSYS workbench:
Start> All Programs> Ansys 12.1> Workbench
The following figure shows the workbench window.
