Pelton inline v3 simulation

Project Support
1

Hi all,

I’m currently having issues getting my simulation (link below) to work.

Pelton inline v3

I am trying to follow the Simscale tutorials, but continue to get:
“A multi-region mesh was assigned - this analysis-type requires a singe-region mesh.”

I have tried a few things to fix this but keep coming up with the same error… hoping it’s something easy that I’ve missed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello N,

Kindly refer to this documentation page - example number 1 should give you all the necessary information, since the applications are quite similar.

Note that the requirements are:

  • a single volume representing the flow region
  • one volume for the rotating zone
  • no solid parts (i.e. blades) should be present, only the negative representation of them

Cheers

Hi Ricardopg,

Thank for the help. Really appreciate the guidance, however I have still been unable to get a simulation working…

Tried to use the sotating zones in CAD which seemed to work and was promising, however I have been unable to follow the steps in the documentation you provided to set an “Internal flow volume”.

Documentation posted by Ricardopg

If there’s any additional suggestions/tutorials/help that you or anyone else can provide that would be amazing.

The project I have been attempting to simulate is:
Pelton Inline V4 Geo

I also have a multiple of other versions that I have been working with, but still hitting a mental wall.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Since everyone’s geometries is in a different “stage”, it’s difficult to cover all possibilities in a document. However, we should focus on the CAD requirements and compare our geometries with a correctly constructed model (see figs 7, 8, 9 from the article).

I hope this helps!
