Cylinder Cooling
1. Create Case
1. Go to New panel
2. Provide chosen name cylinder_cooling
3. Click Create Case
2. Create Geometry - Cylinder
We need to create a cylindrical boundary for the domain. For this purpose, we will
create a cylindrical geometry for later use in the meshing process.
1. Go to Geometry panel
2. Select Create Cylinder
3, 4. Define origin, length, and radius of the cylinder accordingly
Origin[m] 0 0 -0.25
Length[m] 0.5
Radius[m] 0.05
3. Geometry - Cylinder
Min[m] -1 -0.4
Max[m] 1 0.4
Division 200 80
6. Base Mesh - Boundaries
X- inlet
X+ outlet
Y- wall
Y+ wall
7. Material Point - Fluid
1. Go to Point tab
2. Set location of the material point
1. Go to Mesh tab

9. Mesh - Fluid Region
1. Go to Mesh panel
2. Press Options button
3. Select Make sub-region option
4. Enter name fluid for the sub-region
5. Click OK button
11. Material Point - Solid
Material Point 0 0 0
12. Meshing - Solid Region
1. Go to Mesh tab
