2.ansys Meshing T-Junction Pipe

This document provides instructions for meshing a T-junction pipe geometry in ANSYS. It describes starting ANSYS meshing, importing the geometry, generating an initial mesh, refining the mesh at boundaries, adding inflation layers, creating named selections for boundaries, and checking mesh quality before solving. The objective is to demonstrate the basic ANSYS meshing workflow and generate a high-quality mesh of the T-junction pipe ready for CFD analysis in ANSYS Fluent.

Introduction to ANSYS MESHING

Background

This workshop will demonstrate the basic workflow of ANSYS meshing.

Objectives

 Ansys Meshing starting


 Meshing generated
 Named selection created
 Meshing examined
 Mesh quality checking
 Save the project

Import Model from Solidworks

-Start workbench
 Start > All program >
Ansys 14.0 >
Workbench 14.0

-Save the File


 File > saves a s> T-
junction Pipe > save

-Expand analysis System.


Drag and drop a Fluid Flow
(FLUENT) into the project Schematic.
-Right on Geometry (A2), select Import Geometry then click Browse.

-Browse the file name ‘T-junction pipe.IGS’ and click open.


Starting Meshing

 Double click or right click and select edit on


the mesh cell (A3)
 Ansys Meshing will start up and load the
geometry.
Unit

 From the main menu, select Metric (m,kg.......)

Set default

 Click mesh in the outline.


Details of mesh will appear

 Select physics preference to CFD


 Select solver preference to Fluent

Under sizing set the following items:

 Select advanced size function to On:


Curvature
 Relevance center to Fine.
 Smoothing to High.

 Click Generate Mesh button to generate mesh .


Refine the mesh size

 Right on mesh at Outline, click insert and select sizing.

 Select the body of T-junction pipe. Then click apply on Geometry and
put the value of element size is 0.01m. Click Generate Mesh button to
generate mesh .
 Click on mesh at outline to see the change of surface mesh.

Inflation

 Right click on Mesh, click insert and select Inflation.


 Click on body of T-junction pipe, then apply at Geometry.
 Click on 5 wall faces, then apply at Boundary and put value 5 for Number
of Layers.
 Click Generate Mesh button to generate mesh .
 Click on mesh at outline to see the change of surface mesh.

 The view of surface mesh after inflation.


Named selections

 Select the face as circle in red colour by


clicking left mouse button.
 Select the circle face, right click and select
create named selection.
 In the named selection dialog box, put the
name of ‘inlet 1’ and click ok.
 Then, boundary name ‘inlet 1’ will appear
at outline tree
 Follow the same step of create named
selections for ‘inlet 2’, ‘outlet’ and
‘wall’, then, the boundary for ‘inlet’,
‘outlet’ and ‘wall’ will appear at outline
tree (using Ctrl on keyboard to select
more than one edges).
2.4 Check Quality
 Before using a mesh in any
solver it is important to check
the mesh quality.
 Quality is defined through
various metrics which
measure the degree to which
each mesh cell varies from an
ideal shape.
 In the details Mesh panel
expand statistics. Click in the
box to the right of Mesh
Metric and select
Orthogonal Quality.
 The minimum value for
Orthogonal Quality is
important and should not fall below 0.05.The minimum for this mesh is
acceptable.

 Close Meshing Window and the right click at mesh, then select update.
