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.
Example Setup#
Before you can use the fault-tolerant meshing workflow, you must set up the example and initialize this workflow.
Perform required imports#
Perform required imports, which includes downloading and importing the geometry file.
import ansys.fluent.core as pyfluent
from ansys.fluent.core import examples
import_file_name = examples.download_file(
"exhaust_system.fmd", "pyfluent/exhaust_system"

Launch Fluent#
Launch Fluent as a service in meshing mode with double precision running on two processors and print Fluent version.
meshing = pyfluent.launch_fluent(
precision="double",
processor_count=2,
mode="meshing",
)
print(meshing.get_fluent_version())
