Building the Mesh

This section describes the step-by-step procedure to prepare the mesh for the natural convection simulation. The mesh is created using General Mesher.

Concentric annulus mesh
  1. Select General Mesher in the Mesh Panel.
  2. Select CAD Surfaces top_surface, bottom_surface, inner_radius and outer_radius in the Geometric Entities Panel.
  3. Click Add Surfaces of the CAD Surfaces in the Properties Panel.
  4. Enter Mesh Name as Concentric_annulus, Maximum Cell Size as 0.005 and Minimum Cell Size as 0.0005 in the Properties Panel.
  5. Click Create Mesh. A new mesh Concentric_annulus is created under Built Meshes in the Geometric Entities Panel.
  6. The meshed volume Concentric_annulus is generated under Volumes.
