Solid body from sheet bodies

Using SimScale CAD & Meshing
1

Hi everyone,

I have a complex geometry of a wind tunnel which contains only sheet bodies.
Project link: https://www.simscale.com/workbench/?pid=8871083702543879899&mi=spec%3A7134ce3d-0146-4dd6-aa2d-7d2e8b0ddbb9%2Cservice%3AMESHING%2Cstrategy%3A8&sh=7

Is there any simple way to extract the air volume as a solid body, in order to proceed with standard meshing?

Hi there, thank you for using the forum!

I opened your model, and I see that it needs a lot of cleanup with your CAD software. There are two main rules which are crucial for any flow simulation:

  1. Your CAD needs to be watertight: There must not be any holes except inlets and outlets.
  2. Your CAD must only contain solid parts. Shells or Sheets must not appear.
