Meshing the flow but not the pipe
Posted: 31 Oct 2020, 03:01
Hi all,
I have been trying to mesh the air inside of a pipe (iges attached). The pipe was created with FreeCAD. I have gmsh and Netgen and have tried both. I seem to be missing something. The general problem is how to mesh voids. I have thought about putting end caps on the tube but have tried to mesh completely enclosed objects with no luck. The ElmerGUI manual is no help because all of the examples come already meshed. Please keep it simple and detailed if possible. Some of the terminology throws me.
