Extracting Fluid Domain in Vertical Pump

[anishjm]

hi guys


I want to extract the fluid domain in a vertical pump for CFD analysis. At present im using "copy geometry" option to extract it, which is quite tedious since we have to go on selecting all the surfaces.


Can anybody tell me if there is any better and easier option to extract the fluid domain?


Thanks in advance

you can merge all components into a single part then use "surfaces and boundaries" to create your flow volume easily.


I guess youre not using CFDesign, then you wouldnt need to create the flow volume manually...

im not using Cf Design


ok i merged all the components...can u tell me whers the "surface and boundaries" option and how to use it to extract the fluid volume???


thanks in advance

I always make a part "fluid" and cut out the solid parts from it.

for making the volute sections, definitely you will be using the surfacesfor volute. Copy this closed volute quilt and make sure at the end all others are copied and merging. This will giv nice output

you make also a shrinkwarp > merge solid for whole assembly - or group of intresting components. Make sure it(shrinkwrap) is filled inside. Then You can put such file back into your assembly and make a cuout operation. It is very accured way to achieve inner volume of assembled components
