Dear Support,
I’m currently trying to do a conjugate Heat Transfer Analysis on an incubator designed to hold Petri dishes. It is a closed internal flow system - meaning air recirculates. To model this, I tried using “Advanced Concepts > momentum source”. In reality, there are two centrifugal fans, however I modeled these as geometries resembling the fan + outlet. These are mase slightly smaller than the actual “pipe” / flowregion in that area to avoid overlapping faces. The two geometries are also added to “excluded parts” when making the internal flow volume and are not assigned any material. I still get an error when meshing telling me:
“Conformal meshing cannot be generated with overlapping entities: Front Fan Momentum Source, Rear Fan Momentum source, Flow region. Please perform an interference check with your CAD tool and resolve them by subtracting or moving intersecting parts before importing the model again. Learn more.”
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance! Kindest regards,
Gustav
