Fault-tolerant meshing workflow using settings objects
------------------------------------------------------
This example sets up and solves a three-dimensional turbulent fluid flow
in a manifold exhaust system, which is common in the automotive industry,
using the PyFluent Settings API. Predicting the flow field in the area of the
mixing region is important to designing the junction properly.
This example uses the guided workflow for fault-tolerant meshing because it
is appropriate for geometries that can have imperfections, such as gaps and
leakages.
**Workflow tasks**
The fault-tolerant meshing workflow guides you through these tasks:
- Import a CAD geometry and manage individual parts
- Generate a surface mesh
- Cap inlets and outlets
- Extract a fluid region
- Define leakages
- Extract edge features
- Set up size controls
- Generate a volume mesh
**Problem description**
In the manifold exhaust system, air flows through the three inlets
with a uniform velocity of 1 m/s. The air then exits through the outlet.
A small pipe is placed in the main portion of the manifold where edge
extraction is considered. The example also includes a known small leakage
to demonstrate the automatic leakage detection aspects of the meshing workflow.

Please be advised that for the current version of Fluent, many API methods automatically handle file uploads and downloads internally. You may not need to explicitly call upload() in most cases.
