3. Meshing

• DCLK the Meshing cell to open up ANSYS Meshing
• Units > Metric (mm, kg, N, s, mV, mA)
• RCLK on Mesh in the Outline tree > Preview > Surface Mesh
  • Preview the surface mesh before generating the whole mesh when altering settings. A bad orthogonal quality in the surface mesh will end up bad as a whole mesh.
• Click on Mesh in the Outline tree

Defaults	Physics Preference	CFD
	Solver Preference	Fluent
Sizing	Use Advanced Sizing Function	On: Proximity and Curvature
	Relevance Center	Fine
	Span Angle Center	Fine
	Curvature Normal Angle	10° (should be adjusted depending on geometry)
Patch Conforming Options	Triangle Surface Mesher	Advancing Front
Statistics	Mesh Metric	Orthogonal Quality Use this to assess if the mesh is at an acceptable quality. You want your Min to be above than .40 for 2D surface mesh and above .05 for 3D.

• Click on and create a section plane along the YZ axis to better view the slanted hole.

• Creating Named Selections
  • Select the face of the cylinder
    • RCLK on the graphics window > Create Named Selections
    • Name it “wall-hole”

• Do the same for other faces as shown (this is taken from an example with a sphere as the hole to better view the surfaces):

• Select all other faces that have not been named and name them “openings”
• Select the whole body (not a face) and name it “air-volume”

• RCLK on Mesh > Insert > Sizing
  • Select the whole body for Scope.

• RCLK on Mesh > Generate Mesh
• Click on
